Basilica of San Vitale, UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE. It was consecrated in 547 AD to St. Vitale, a martyr of the first centuries of Christianity. The basilica is composed of a central plan, and it features structural elements that clearly differentiate it from any other church with a basilica plan.
Art is everywhere - in the columns, the ceiling and the friezes of Ravenna's 6th Century AD Basilica di Sant Apollinare Nuovo. The mosaics are also superb.

Ravenna has been occupied since the Umbri people around 500BC since then it has changed hands many a time across 2500+ years even being the seat of the Western Roman Empire for a few centuries as well as the Western seat of the Byzantine Empire for even longer. If you are a fan of art or just the skill that it takes to make mosaics then the cities ancient churches are a treat as the Byzantine Empire put a lot of its famed talent for this art on display here. The old part of the city is highly walkable, full of character and is home to some exceptionally great food spend some time just leisurely taking it all in but don’t forget to check out the famed Mercato Coperto a treat for those that love markets.

Es ist der erste Zentralkuppelbau des Abendlandes und somit Ausgangspunkt seiner Sakralarchitektur.
526 war der Baubeginn, in dieser Zeit war Ravenna ostgotische Hauptstadt. Die Weihe fand aber erst 546 statt nachdem die Goten von den Byzantinern vernichtet wurden.
Sämtliche Zeugnisse von ostgotischer Mitwirkung wurden getilgt. Die Vorbilder für dieses Bauwerk liegen in der Sergius-Bacchus-Kirche im damaligen Konstantinopel. Vorbildcharkter ihrerseits hat sie für die Achener Pfalzkapelle usw...
Die Fresken sind teilweise im Barock angebracht worden.
Die Bedeutung des Bauwerks entsteht allerdings durch die byzaninischen Mosaiken.
Seit 1996 gehört das Bauwerk zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe.
the Ravenna Stream flows through the Ravenna Gorge which is roughly 4 km long and has got a lot of Waterfalls, it's a big tourist attraction.

CSX train X370 is seen rolling through a sweeping S-curve at BG109 in Ravenna, Ohio led by a very interesting pair of locomotives native to total opposite sides of North America. The lead unit, BCOL 4642, is one of only four of its kind ever built for the BC Rail, three of which still retain their original colors. The trailing unit, KCS 4023 is part of a small and quickly dwindling group of SD70ACe's that are still painted in the discontinued grey ghost scheme of the KCS. Thanks to all who provided info on this train and to Uncle Wak for recommending this spot.
Kids coming down the trail to play in ice cold water. Such fun! Ravenna Creek has had parts of it daylighted, releasing it from its urban concrete underground dungeons to delight dogs and children.
There is a poem by Denise Levertov at the entrance to the park. I thought I would find it in her opus, but no, So I'll photograph it next time
MUSEO NAZIONALE.
Il Museo Nazionale di Ravenna ha sede nell'ex monastero benedettino di San Vitale. L’atmosfera dei due chiostri rinascimentali e degli spazi abbaziali, accessibili attraverso lo scalone settecentesco, conferisce particolare piacevolezza al percorso.
Il nucleo primitivo del patrimonio museale è costituito dalle collezioni formate, durante il Settecento, dai monaci camaldolesi di Classe poi arricchito attraverso donazioni, acquisizioni, ritrovamenti e scavi.

NATIONAL MUSEUM.
The National Museum of Ravenna is housed in the former Benedictine monastery of San Vitale. The atmosphere of the two Renaissance cloisters and the abbey spaces, accessible via the eighteenth-century staircase, lends a particularly pleasant experience.
The original core of the museum's holdings consists of collections formed during the eighteenth century by the Camaldolese monks of Classe, later enriched through donations, acquisitions, finds, and excavations.
