Ravenna is one of the most cult European cities. Sparkling and mysterious. Overlooking the sea. The silence of its churches treasures the most beautiful early Christian mosaics in the world. There are 8 UNESCO sites: a record breaking number. Unlike other civilisations, the Byzantines (Ravenna was their capital) created mosaics with irregular tesserae made of gold, mother of pearl and semiprecious stones: this is why they create special effects and seem to be illuminated. You will be enchanted.
