    early Christian basilica, It was built by the will of Galla Placidia following a vow made to the evangelist Giovanni during the perilous crossing that from Constantinople brought it back to Ravenna in 424: given the bad weather conditions, the sovereign promised that, if she touched land, he would have built a church dedicated to John in the place of the landing.

    As soon as you leave the Ravenna railway station, curiously off-center with respect to the historic centre, the BASILICA OF SAN GIOVANNI EVANGELISTA appears on the horizon in all its beauty, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful religious buildings in Ravenna.

    Originally the church, also known as Santi Nicandro e Marciano Martiri, stood near the coastline.

    It must have been much taller than it appears today. Like many other buildings in the city, this one too is subject to subsidence, or that geological phenomenon which causes a gradual and progressive lowering of the land.
