This mausoleum is absolutely stunning inside, with beautiful mosaics on its walls and ceilings. There was a long queue (about 45 minutes) and the time inside was limited (5 minutes maximum), but it was worth it as one of the highlights of Ravenna.

Ravenna shows us all the beauty of early Christian mosaics in beautiful basilicas, churches, chapels and museums. Sightseeing and enjoying these beauties is a privilege. So with Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, we enjoyed every look. Her history is extremely interesting. The basilica is a historically important early Christian monument. At the beginning of the 6th century, it was built by the Ostrogothic King Theodoric I, as a chapel within his royal palace (cited by Liber Pontificalis). As Theodoric was of Aryan faith, in 504 the church was consecrated as Aryan. After the Ravenna was occupied by the Byzantines, it was converted into an orthodox (Catholic / Orthodox) church, and Emperor Justinian I. The Great renamed it 561 to Sanctus Martinus in Coelo Aureo ("St. Martin in the Golden Sky"). It was renamed in 856 when the remains of the Sant'Apollinare ( Holy Apolinaria ) by which it was named were transferred. Among the many beautiful mosaics we can see, the mosaic of Christ on the throne surrounded by angels, mosaic display Theodoric's palace, Mosaic Adoration of the Magi ...... A magnificent Basilica with great artistic and religious value.

This is a 15th Century hexagonal tower that originally had been a castle. Depending where you are, the tower appears to be square The castle was reconstructed to be a fortress. It has a wonderful location high on a hill. We walked up the stairs to each level (6) and then out on the terrace. The views from there are spectacular. It really is a must see.

Well worth a visit - old beams above old shops, extremely well preserved, with old pavement. Used to house whole families, together with domestic animals.
