Bon Voyage treats a destination as a connected world: history, neighborhoods, food, nearby escapes and the port or route that brought you here all belong to the same journey.
Ravenna's monuments hold a rare visual record of Rome, Byzantium and the early Christian world.
UNESCO recognizes eight Early Christian monuments in Ravenna, built during the fifth and sixth centuries when the city served first as a capital of the Western Roman Empire and later as a center of Byzantine Italy. Their architecture and mosaics preserve an exceptional blend of Graeco-Roman tradition, Christian imagery, and eastern and western artistic influences.
