The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia occupies part of the same complex as the Basilica di San Vitale in Ravenna city centre.

That said, it's great value for money as you gain access to five outstanding sites; apart from the entry to the Mausoleum itself, you also gain access to the adjacent Basilica di San Vitale, the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, the Neonian Baptistery and the Archiepiscopal Museum with its star attraction: the Archiepiscopal Chapel or Cappella di Sant'Andrea.
