ラヴェンナのおすすめツーリングルート

The two Venetian columns in Piazza del Popolo with their Renaissance bases by Pietro Lombardo are striking examples of Italian Renaissance sculpture and bas-relief, unfortunately in a poor state of conservation.

The 14th century fortress located within the ancient village and protected by a circle of sturdy walls is made up of 3 imposing towers and the square keep

Expelled from Florence, Dante Alighieri thought of finding his final refuge in Ravenna, but his mortal remains changed location several times to avoid theft until December 1945. In addition to the danger of German bombings and the recurring rumors of Hitler's creation in Berlin of a mausoleum to collect the remains of illustrious figures, some workers dug a hole lined with reinforced concrete at the bottom of which the box containing the poet's bones was placed. However, the custodian Antonio Fusconi cunningly placed another identical one on top of it, containing sawdust or apparently common bones taken from an abandoned tomb, thus the bones of the supreme Poet remained safe for 2 years.

The walkway becomes very slippery when wet; be careful. Very very slippery when wet; be careful.

I visited the grave of the author of The Divine Comedy. I recommend every tourist pay their respects to this wonderful writer.

It's worth purchasing a combined ticket for five religious attractions in Ravenna. The price includes visits to the Basilica of San Vitale, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, the Basilica of S. Apollinare N., the Arcivescovile Museum and Cappella, and the Battistero Neoniano. The ticket price for November 2025 is €12.50. I recommend a ticket valid for five days from purchase.

Location as already described.

Basilica that still retains an ancient charm, the mosaics inside are a masterpiece
