What makes Audio guides to discover Ravenna, the city of golden mosaics a unique experience ?
We are in the municipality of Ravenna, about 10 km from the city center, but the landscape couldn't be more different!
The square changed its name several times over the centuries and the current name is due to 1946, the year in which Italy chose the republic instead of the monarchy.
The exterior of the mausoleum appears rather bare, but you will find the real wonder inside!
The building is considered one of the best examples of Byzantine art in Italy and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The building that houses the museum is the former Benedictine monastery of San Vitale, right next to the basilica of the same name.
It is a complex of housing structures dating from the Roman Republican age to the Byzantine period.
The interior is now a modern commercial space with retail stalls, two restaurants and also taste laboratories to taste the various excellences of Romagna.
The baptistery was once decidedly more imposing, but unfortunately the progressive sinking of the ground has exceeded two meters over the centuries.
Inside you will find the red porphyry basin in which, in ancient times, Theodoric's remains were placed.
The current name is due to the fact that, in the 9th century, the relics of Sant'Apollinare, previously preserved in the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, were transferred there.
Dante's remains have been requested for centuries by the Florentines and have also escaped the destruction of the two world wars.
Under the church there is a crypt, built between the 9th and 10th centuries, partially flooded, which can be reached by a double flight of stairs.
The name derives from the fact that it is opposed to the Arian baptistery, a Christian doctrine considered heretical.
Of the ancient church you can still admire the bell tower, with its characteristic cylindrical shape.
The highlight of the museum is certainly the chair of Bishop Maximian, a throne made of ebony and covered in ivory, probably made in Constantinople in the 6th century.
