Ravenna — Mausoleo di Galla Placidia & Mosaici
Emilia-Romagna
Ravenna served briefly as capital of the Western Roman Empire and later the Byzantine exarchate, leaving behind a concentration of 5th- and 6th-century mosaic decoration unmatched outside Istanbul, including the small but jewel-like Mausoleum of Galla Placidia. Flat streets link the scattered monuments across the level city centre.
