β β β β β The Basilica of Saint Apollinaire is Classe is situated at a distance of eight kilometers from Ravenna. It was built in the 6th century to honor St Apolinaris who was one of the first bishops in Ravenna and died in this area.
In spite of the plundering it suffered over the centuries, the Basilica maintains the splendor and grandiosity of its original building and its decoration of mosaics is one of the most beautiful examples of Byzantine art.
It is absolutely worthy the trip from Ravenna

β β β β β Excellent well worth a visit get the bus from opposite the railway station (buy a return ticket first from the machine outside bus office or inside in the bus office near the station ) you get the return bus on the opposite side of the church from where you got off

β β β β β 6th century Roman cathedral unbelievably large for such a small village. In the past, Classe used to be a bussling port. Accessible by bus from Ravenna and thankfully enjoyable in silence

β β β β β This church located outside of the city of ravenna about 20 minutes by public transportation or 10 minutes by car is a wonderful example of Byzantine art and architecture melded with romanesque art and architecture as well as later additions from the baroque and neoclassical periods.
