★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Incredible basilica with impressive paintings on every wall inside the church. You would not expect them when you see the church from outside. We took the ticket which is valid for 3 churches, but only time for this one, as it is the most impressive one. Certainly worthwhile a visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From the outside you won’t have any idea how beautiful and interesting this place is on the inside. The mosaic are an impressive collection of art very well preserved. The painting on the dome is also very impressive. A must visit when in Ravenna.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Impossible to describe it by words. If you only had this in Ravenna, it would be still worth to visit the city every year.
The architecture is a unique combination of Roman western-eastern (byzantine) elements.
The central architecture, the ight and the integration of mosaics in the architecture, make it unique.
Please also notice that in the 6th century Jesus was young, optimistic and almost cheerful. Death, sorrow and pain came later with Middle Age.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must see monument and UNESCO site or works heritage. Absolutely stunning. This place inspired the Haggia Sofia in Istanbul! You must add it to your list! €11 for the combined ticket to see 5 sights in the city, 3 of which are UNESCO! Well worth the price.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Basilica of San Vitale is a late antique church in Ravenna, Italy. The 6th century church is an important surviving example of early Christian Byzantine art and architecture. It is one of eight structures in Ravenna inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its foundational inscription describes the church as a basilica, though its centrally-planned design is not typical of the basilica form.[1] The Roman Catholic Church has designated the building a "basilica", an honorific title bestowed on exceptional church buildings of historic and ecclesial importance.
