Ravenna was such a nice surprise! We went first to the Basicala of San Vitale with the most beautifully decorated interior. The mosaic work looked is said to be the best outside constantinople. The octagonal shape of the Basilica was also unusual and interesting. Amazing place! A work of art. I am so glad we went!


Next we saw the Baptistry of Neon. From the 4th-5th century, I reckon it is the ondest christian monument I have seen. Again this is octagonal. The Museum and the Cathedral are just next to it. The museum has some very interesting artificacts but the CCathedral Was not that attractive. We find a simple lunch at a cafe just outside. The town is a bit dull this Sunday.


We check out Dante
