Basilica  di  Sant'Apollinare  in  Classe​

Latest update: 26 February 2022
The Basilica di Sant'Apollinare in Classe is a UNESCO World Heritage Site situated just outside Ravenna in Emilia Romagna.

Built in the Byzantine architectural style of the sixth century, it takes the final part of its title from the name of what used to be the port of Classe; a Latin word translating as "fleet" or "navy" in English and in reference to the Roman flotilla once based there.
