The incomparable Ravenna, so much to mention here, that I am lost in hundreds and hundreds photos. I will put here some, quite randomally. This one is from Palazzo dela Provinsia: delightful Cripta Rasponi and Giardini Pensili.

ITALY_Ravenna - mosaic fontain (fragment)

Modern fontain, covered with mosaics (oh, alike everything in Ravenna = city of mosaics). Weird, stuck near parking area in casual neighbourhood - aside of tourist trail, this fontain is over decorated and sparkling. I still liked it: desire of the artist to create something extraordinary in mosaics is almost religious, it is visible. And that erase any wish to critic.

ITALY_Ravenna_St Francis Church

There r plenty of churches in Italy and plenty of outstanding mosaics in Ravenna. So, why St. Francis? Allright, it's the earliest example in Italy of the decorative use of majolica. It is also very beautiful outside - u can see on other photos here . Plus it stuck between tomb of Dante Alighieri and to Cripta Rasponi (Palazzo dela Provinsia) - both are famose themselves. The significance of this church is that remaining mosaic floor of crypt (9-10C) is under water.

ITALY_Ravenna_doves on St Francis Church

Church is very nice, with flat stone facade, facing the square, floated mosaic floor in the crypt. There are also the tomb of Dante Alighieri. What is really beautiful - that all this hand-made treasure is living and breathing for longer then 10,000 years. It continues. That what I especially like about it.

ITALY_Ravenna_San Vitale

Basilica San Vitale is dating from ... 525. It's so old that hard to undersand. From outside - San Vitale is a small domed church in the Byzantine architectural style. But from inside - the ceilings of the choir and apse glitter with magnificent Byzantine mosaics in green and gold.
