Ravenna Food Tour with Wine Tasting and Guided Sightseeing of Top Attractions

You will enjoy the main square "Piazza del Popolo"

Ravenna is also the town where the Florentine poet Dante found shelter during his exile and where he wrote his Inferno. You will have a walk in the so-called Zona Dantesca (Dante's zone), an area dedicated to the great poet where silence is kept by the citizens of Ravenna to respect his memory. There we will visit Dante's tomb and the church of San Francesco where his funeral was held in 1321

You will learn about the art of mosaics, an ancient craft that survived in workshops and artisan shops, did not originate in Ravenna but its greatest expression is to be found here. It was here that Christian iconology originated, a mixture of symbolism and realism, of Roman and Byzantine influence ( you will stop outside)

You will see ( just outside) the most relevant Byzantine church of the West

You will then visit the Church of Sant' Apollinare Nuovo ( you will stop outside)
