If you are travelling with young children, the <strong>Mirabilandia<\/strong> amusement park can be a good stop to take a break from basilicas, mausoleums and mosaics.<\/p>\n<p>For nature lovers, just a few kilometres away are the Po Delta and the valleys of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/comacchio\/cosa-vedere-comacchio\"><strong>Comacchio<\/strong><\/a>, as well as the pine forests of Classe and San Vitale and the Punte Alberete oasis.<\/p>\n<p>In short, if you too were among those who did not know Ravenna, now you have no more excuses. <strong>Discover with us what you absolutely must see and do in Ravenna.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_quote_box td_box_center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you are looking for a hotel in Ravenna, we recommend choosing from those offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/city\/it\/ravenna.it.html?aid=340168;label=ravennaparagrafo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Booking.com<\/strong><\/a>.

Let\u2019s start with the name: it has been called this since 1946, when, in the referendum between Republic and Monarchy, Ravenna was the Italian city that voted most strongly for the Republic (88%). <strong>The square is small and harmonious<\/strong>, almost perfect, we might say.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27006\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27006\" style=\"width: 375px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27006\" src=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/piazza-popolo-ravenna.jpg\" alt=\"Piazza del Popolo in Ravenna\" width=\"375\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/piazza-popolo-ravenna.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/piazza-popolo-ravenna-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27006\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Piazza del Popolo in Ravenna (Photo Comune di Ravenna)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The atmosphere is relaxed<\/strong>: people stroll around, exchange a few words, have something at the caf\u00e9 tables or browse the markets when they take place.<\/p>\n<p>The most beautiful building in the square is the \u201cMerlato\u201d palace, today the Town Hall, which occupies the space once taken up by the Padenna river, filled in by the Venetians when they arrived in the city. Speaking of the Venetians: it was they who, around 1480, erected <strong>the two columns with the Lion of Saint Mark and the patron saint Sant\u2019Apollinare<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>The opposite side of the square was closed off by the churches of San Marco and San Sebastiano, now disappeared. The square was meant to show the rule of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/venezia\/cosa-vedere-venezia\"><strong>Venice<\/strong> <\/a>over Ravenna, and so it did. In fact, immediately after the papal \u201creconquest\u201d, the lion was dismantled and replaced with Sant\u2019Apollinare, joined by San Vitale. Two curiosities about this column: on its surface you can still see a sundial that was used to indicate Ravenna\u2019s solar noon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On the bas-relief, the zodiac signs are not 12 but 13, including Ophiuchus<\/strong>, the only constellation that did not become a zodiac sign. Even lower down is the miniature of a <strong>Hercules Horarius<\/strong>, a large statue of Ravenna later destroyed by an earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>The two Venetian churches on the other side of the square were demolished and replaced by the current <strong>Clock Tower.<\/strong> The other representative buildings in the square are the <strong>Apostolic Palace, now the seat of the Prefecture,<\/strong> the former headquarters of the Banca Nazionale del Lavoro and the <strong>Palazzo dei Rasponi del Sale<\/strong>, now the seat of a banking institution.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"wpb_wrapper td_block_separator td_block_wrap vc_separator tdi_10  td_separator_solid td_separator_center\"><span style=\"border-color:juicy_pink;border-width:1px;width:100%;\"><\/span>\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.td_block_separator{\r\n                  width: 100%;\r\n                  align-items: center;\r\n                  margin-bottom: 38px;\r\n                  padding-bottom: 10px;\r\n                }.td_block_separator span{\r\n                  position: relative;\r\n                  display: block;\r\n                  margin: 0 auto;\r\n                  width: 100%;\r\n                  height: 1px;\r\n                  border-top: 1px solid #EBEBEB;\r\n                }.td_separator_align_left span{\r\n                  margin-left: 0;\r\n                }.td_separator_align_right span{\r\n                  margin-right: 0;\r\n                }.td_separator_dashed span{\r\n                  border-top-style: dashed;\r\n                }.td_separator_dotted span{\r\n                  border-top-style: dotted;\r\n                }.td_separator_double span{\r\n                  height: 3px;\r\n                  border-bottom: 1px solid #EBEBEB;\r\n                }.td_separator_shadow > span{\r\n                  position: relative;\r\n                  height: 20px;\r\n                  overflow: hidden;\r\n                  border: 0;\r\n                  color: #EBEBEB;\r\n                }.td_separator_shadow > span > span{\r\n                  position: absolute;\r\n                  top: -30px;\r\n                  left: 0;\r\n                  right: 0;\r\n                  margin: 0 auto;\r\n                  height: 13px;\r\n                  width: 98%;\r\n                  border-radius: 100%;\r\n                }html :where([style*='border-width']){\r\n                    border-style: none;\r\n                }\n<\/style><\/div>[vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"tdi_11\" class=\"tdc-row\"><div class=\"vc_row tdi_12  wpb_row td-pb-row\" >\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_12,\r\n                .tdi_12 .tdc-columns{\r\n                    min-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_12,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_12 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_12 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_12:before,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_12:after{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: table;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"vc_column tdi_14  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_14{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_14 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_14 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_14 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_14 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_14 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" >[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1443603403412{background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span class=\"dropcap\" style=\"background-color: #dd3333;\">2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Approaching the <strong>Mausoleum of Galla Placidia<\/strong>, you would never imagine that the simplicity of the exterior hides, in just a few square metres, such splendid mosaics, the oldest in Ravenna.

It is part of the <strong>Po Delta Regional Park<\/strong>, an area of great landscape interest. The distinctive feature of this zone is the presence of the so-called \u201cbarene\u201d, sandbanks that emerge from the lagoon waters depending on the tides.<\/p>\n<p>The place is ideal for <strong>observing many species of birds and typical plants<\/strong> of brackish waters, such as glasswort and tamarisk. Cormorants, pink flamingos, swans and herons find their ideal habitat here. In the lagoon you will also come across the \u201cpadelloni\u201d, typical Romagna stilt huts used for fishing with large nets lowered into the water.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30637\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30637\" style=\"width: 375px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ravenna-pialassa-baiona.jpg\" alt=\"The Pialassa della Baiona in Ravenna - Photo Ravenna Turismo\" width=\"375\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ravenna-pialassa-baiona.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/ravenna-pialassa-baiona-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30637\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Pialassa della Baiona in Ravenna &#8211; Photo Ravenna Turismo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Arriving by car, after parking you continue on foot for a short stretch through the <strong>San Vitale Pine Forest<\/strong>.

Ravenna can therefore be <strong>visited by bicycle<\/strong>, which can be rented at the Velostazione in Piazza Farini or at Casa del Ciclo in Via San Mama 152.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to reach the seaside resorts or the Po Delta, there is a day and night bus service run by Start Romagna, useful for those who arrive in Ravenna without a car.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ravenna station is located in Piazza Farini, a 3-minute walk from the historic centre.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ravenna can be reached by car via the A14 motorway, Ravenna exit, while the nearest airports are Forl\u00ec, Rimini and Bologna, at 30, 60 and 90 km respectively.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"wpb_wrapper td_block_separator td_block_wrap vc_separator tdi_100  td_separator_solid td_separator_center\"><span style=\"border-color:juicy_pink;border-width:1px;width:100%;\"><\/span><\/div>[vc_column_text]<div class='code-block code-block-1' style='margin: 8px 8px 8px 8px; text-align: left; display: block; clear: both;'>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6745002529729253\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- Box 1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6745002529729253\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6828920278\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/br>\n\n<script async type='text\/javascript' src='\/\/s.clickiocdn.com\/t\/218260\/360_light.js'><\/script>\n<script class='__lxGc__' type='text\/javascript'>\n((__lxGc__=window.__lxGc__||{'s':{},'b':0})['s']['_218260']=__lxGc__['s']['_218260']||{'b':{}})['b']['_709459']={'i':__lxGc__.b++};\n<\/script>\n<\/br>\n\n<script async type='text\/javascript' src='\/\/s.clickiocdn.com\/t\/218260\/360_light.js'><\/script>\n<script class='__lxGc__' type='text\/javascript'>\n((__lxGc__=window.__lxGc__||{'s':{},'b':0})['s']['_218260']=__lxGc__['s']['_218260']||{'b':{}})['b']['_709457']={'i':__lxGc__.b++};\n<\/script><\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"tdi_101\" class=\"tdc-row\"><div class=\"vc_row tdi_102  wpb_row td-pb-row\" >\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_102,\r\n                .tdi_102 .tdc-columns{\r\n                    min-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_102,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_102 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_102 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_102:before,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_102:after{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: table;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"vc_column tdi_104  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_104{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_104 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_104 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_104 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_104 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_104 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" >[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Where to stay in Ravenna&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1443605943616{background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]Taken over by school groups in spring, university students all year round and tourists in the warm months, Ravenna has an excellent tourist accommodation offer organised around hotels, B&amp;Bs, guesthouses and apartments.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1718\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1718\" style=\"width: 375px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1718\" src=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/hotel-dove-dormire-ravenna.jpg\" alt=\"Where to stay in Ravenna\" width=\"375\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/hotel-dove-dormire-ravenna.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.10cose.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/hotel-dove-dormire-ravenna-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Where to stay in Ravenna<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>There are many hotels in the historic centre <\/strong>and they are not expensive, although you need to book a little in advance, especially in spring and autumn.
