★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love this Basilica, so much art all around it, the ceiling, the altar, the sides of the building, the outside... it was all just amazing.
I liked how easy it was to buy the ticket and also how one ticket would allow us to get into the main attractions at a very affordable price as well(€9.50).
The town is small enough for you to just walk to the main sites.
Food can be a bit pricey.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is yet another stunning mosaic filled church. This is a more traditional shaped church and the walls are filled on both sides with stunning art. It was insanely peaceful, no pews in the church so you can wonder through easily.
