It is a trip into the early middle age, and accross a huge book of mosaics and little gems.

Basilica di San Francesco
Incredible the surprise, welcoming us, after this full immersion into the mosaic tiles, precious stones covered with glass paste and bright colors, set in the millenary red clay bricks: an underground crypt, subject to flooding due to the subsidence of the soil (a structure that reminds us to the Basilica Cistern of Istambul).
25 minutes
Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo
a Unesco Heritagem a grat temple of early Christian age, full of mosaics, and art masterpieces.
35 minutes
Admission Included
Archiepiscopal Museum
Visit to this great Museum, its huge collection of Roman, Byzantine, Barbarian and early middle ages manufacts, moreover an ark consisting of a wooden armor completely covered with finely carved ivory, represents one of the most precious artistic testimonies of the ancient world.
30 minutes
Admission Included
Mausoleo di Galla Placidia
our last Unesco site of this great tour, a tomb of the sister of the Byzantine Emperor Onorio. The light filters accross the alabaster glasses, the golden atmosphere spread out all around the inner walls and domes. The ellenistic, the greek, and the persian iconographies tell a story dating many thousands years ago, when the Mediterranean Sea was a unique closed and interconnected basin, and a craddle of several wealthy civilizations.
