Basilica divided into three naves by marble columns in Ravenna

The basilica was erected in the first half of the 6th century; the cylindrical bell tower dates from the 10th century. The building is the only remnant of the town of Classe, the ancient port of Ravenna. Divided into three naves by marble columns, it is superb and well worth a visit. The triumphal arch and the apse are decorated with magnificent 6th century mosaics representing, among others, Saint Apollinaire grazing his sheep in the middle of a flowery meadow.

Un bel exemple des mosaïques que l'on peut admirer à Ravenne, et qui sont d'ailleurs considérés Patrimoine Mondial de l'Unesco. Dans l'abside, le mosaïque de San Apollinare entouré des moutons est admirable par ses couleurs brittantes vertes et dorées.
