Octagonal basilica, one of the most important monuments of early Christian art
This octagonal-shaped basilica was erected in 525 and consecrated in 548 under Emperor Justinian. The interior is surprisingly beautiful, thanks in particular to its superb mosaics. The scenes of the Sacrifice of Abraham and of Abel and Melchisedec, above the arches, show the astonishing dynamism of the composition; on the right-hand side, the Emperor Justinian and his retinue face the Empress Theodora and her maidservants. In the apse, a Christ in glory. The basilica is one of the most important monuments of Italian early Christian art.

Située à côté du mausolée de Galla Placidia (compris dans le billet combiné), les mosaïques murales et au sol sont impressionnantes. Lieu incontournable lors d'une visite de Ravenne

Cette basilique abrite une partie des plus beaux mosaïques de Ravenne. Ils sont très bien conservés, de taille conséquante et remarquables par ses couleurs brillantes et ses traits fins et bien désinés, surtout dans les personnages représentés. Sa visite est un incontournable de la ville. En même temps, vous pouvez visiter le mausolée de Gaia Placida, qui est juste à côté.
