Welcome to the Basilica di San Vitale, a masterpiece of early Christian architecture built in the 6th century during the reign of Emperor Justinian.

Unique features include its octagonal shape and intricate designs that create an ethereal atmosphere, making it one of Ravenna's most celebrated landmarks.
Next, we have the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, which dates back to around 425 AD and serves as a testament to both Roman architectural ingenuity and early Christian symbolism. This small yet striking structure is significant for housing some of the finest examples of mosaic artistry from this period, including breathtaking depictions like Christ as the Good Shepherd. What sets it apart are its starry blue ceilings adorned with golden stars—an enchanting feature that evokes feelings reminiscent of heaven itself.
Finally, let’s explore the Baptistery of Neon, known for being one of Italy's oldest baptisteries dating back to around 400 AD. Its historical importance stems from being partaking in key rituals within early Christianity while showcasing exquisite mosaics illustrating baptismal themes central to faith development at that time. The unique circular design combined with vibrant colors creates an inviting space where visitors can truly appreciate how sacred traditions were visually expressed through art centuries ago.
