The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia occupies part of the same complex as the Basilica di San Vitale in Ravenna city centre.
Built in the fifth century, it's one of eight sites, including the Basilica, that make up the Early Christian Monuments of Ravenna UNESCO World Heritage listing. Although one of the smaller sites, it's one of the most memorable with its breathtaking mosaics. |
