Ravenna
Ravenna and the mosaics
Eight UNESCO World Heritage monuments in a centre you can cross on foot.
From Hotel Diana you can walk to the Basilica of San Vitale, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, the Neonian Baptistery, Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, Dante’s Tomb and Piazza del Popolo.
Basilica of San Vitale
The sixth-century Byzantine octagon, with the mosaics of Justinian and Theodora.
Sant’Apollinare in Classe
The jewelled cross of the apse, set in a sky of green and gold tesserae.
Mausoleum of Galla Placidia
A starred vault in blue and gold tesserae, in the smallest and perhaps most intense of the UNESCO monuments.
Exact distances and walking times will be added with the final page copy.
Welcome
Welcome to Hotel Diana
In Ravenna’s historic centre, a short walk from the UNESCO mosaics, Hotel Diana is an intimate 3-star stay: 33 rooms, a family feel, and quiet attention to detail.
From here you can walk to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, the Basilica of San Vitale, Dante’s Tomb and Piazza del Popolo. We are next to the church of San Giovanni Battista — and outside the ZTL.
