Basilica di Sant'Apollinare in Classe

Reviewed By Tiggy20 - London, United Kingdom

On our day visit to Ravenna by train from Bologna (c. 80 minutes away) we relished seeing all 8 world heritage sites, of which this basilica was possibly the most spectacular. The no 4 bus to Classe (NB not all buses go there so either ask or check the front of the bus) stops on the opposite side of the road to Ravenna railway station, and on arrival in Classe 30 minutes or so later the basilica is about 5 minutes walk away, but unmissable in a now rural area. There is an hotel next door to the basilica if you need refreshments.The wonderful mosaics inside the basilica, with Jesus' 12 disciples represented by sheep, are entirely fitting to the surroundings. The journey back to the railway station is even easier, as the bus stop is just opposite the basilica, with an automated sign indicating the waiting time. We bought our tickets from the bus ticket office near the railway station, which costs slightly less than doing so on the bus itself. We were so glad that we visited, and the proximity of the bus stop to Ravenna train station makes this easy to do by public transport.

Basilica di San Giovanni Evangelista

Reviewed By asiyahnoemik - Pula, Croatia

The Basilica of San Giovanni Evangelista was built by the Roman princess Galla Placidia in the fifth century AD. The history of church construction is extremely interesting. A marble inscription on the church of San Giovanni Evangelista indicates to us that Galla Placidia (392-450) built this church in memory of the shipwreck survivor, herself and her children. Their Journey took place from Constantinople to Ravenna after the death of her brother Honorio to take over the kingdom of the Western Empire instead of her son Valentinian, who was then too young. Some mosaics are unfortunately lost, but the church is a wonderful example of early Christian architecture. In the Middle Ages, the Benedictines added an important monastery to it. In the 14th century, both the church and the monastery were rebuilt in the Gothic style, because of these interventions, a beautiful portal is visible.

Basilica di San Francesco

Reviewed By Bigo1955 - Ravenna, Italy

The Basilica of San Francesco is interesting to visit although it has undergone significant renovations over the centuries. In this church the funeral of the "Supreme Poet Dante" was celebrated in 1321. The remains of the "great poet" rest in the adjacent "Dante's tomb". Under the high altar, consisting of a sarcophagus of the fifth century, through a window you can see a crypt supported by pillars, intended to house the remains of Bishop Neone, founder of the church. The floor is submerged by the water whose level varies according to the tides. For better viewing, the light can be switched on in the crypt via a token switch (1 euro). For entries to the various monuments I recommend going to one of the "Information Offices" in the city.
