Activity itinerary

Colonna di Sant'Apollinare
  • 5m
Colonna di Sant'Apollinare honors the city’s dedication to its first bishop and patron saint, Saint Apollinaris. It's a great place to explore.
Basilica di San Giovanni Evangelista
  • 10m
The tour starts outside the Basilica di San Giovanni Evangelista at the gate. You'll hear it's history and story then be guided step by step through Ravenna.
Koko Mosaico
  • 5m
The tour passes by a local Mosaic shop to point out it's work, and you can pop in to see mosaics at work.
Palazzo di Teodorico
  • 5m
Palazzo di Teodorico in Ravenna is a small but fascinating early-medieval structure, long thought to be King Theodoric’s residence but now understood as a 7th–8th century gatehouse for the imperial palace complex. Its façade with arches and niche fronts Via di Roma near Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, and inside you can see reused Roman and Byzantine elements plus mosaics from the underlying late‑antique palace. Excavations revealed earlier Roman villas and an imperial residence later remodeled in Theodoric’s time, so the site condenses several centuries of Ravenna’s political and artistic history.

Dante's tomb and Quadrarco of Braccioforte
