    • Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, which stands as an exquisite testament to the artistry of early Christian craftsmen, showcasing exceptional designs.
    • Church of St. Apollinare Nuovo, originally erected as a palatine church for the king of Goths.
    • Neonian Baptistery, one of the best-preserved examples of a baptistery from 5th century, adorned with breathtaking mosaics.
