What is worth viewing in Ravenna? Ravenna is a city of century-old history and tribute to the Christian faith.

In the time of Umbrov and Etruscans, Ravenna, as well as Venice, stood on the lagoon. Thanks to a strategically successful location, the city was considered impregnable - and therefore the Roman emperor August laid here military and trading portwho has become a reference point for the subordination of the Adriatic and its coasts. When the Emperor Feodosius I shared the Roman Empire between his sons, Horoni, who received the Western Roman Empire, made Ravenna the capital (395) - and immediately began the flowering of the city. While the great relocation of peoples devastated the rest of Italy, Horoni and his sister Galla Placidia, Regent in 425-450, built a new imperial residence in Ravenna. In 476, German tribes invaded to Italy. Their leader of the Odacre, which expelled the last emperor Rome, after his proclamation by the king of all Italy manages the state from Ravenna. The Eastern Roman Empire also existed and sent to Italy of the Ostoghota King (from 471) theodorich, which lasted Ravenna in the siege for three years; Forwarding finally in 493. Odacra to pass the city, he killed him then on the general feast. Theodorih, brought up with the Byzantine court as a prisoner, is a legendary character named Dietrich Bernski from "Song about Nibelungakh, brought Ravenna a new rise. In 539 byzantine emperor Justinian (482-565) returned Italy in the Lonos of the Eastern Roman Empire, and Ravenna became the residence of the Exarch (Supreme Governors of the provinces); The third period of its heyday began. It was then that the Byzantine style penetrates Western art. In 751, Langobard put an end to Exarchant, and at the same time equal to the prosperity. Later, the city was under the rule of Venice, and from 1509 he entered the papal state, which remained until 1859. For a long time, the residents of Ravenna lived with agriculture, while in the 1950s. There were no huge fields of natural gas, which led to the formation of an extensive industrial belt around the city.

The main attraction of Ravenna is its mosaic. She is here everywhere - in the temples, houses, mausoleum. Her radiance and depth of performance amazed, fascinate, fascinate. But Ravenna is famous not only for the unique decoration of the walls. There is a house where Bayron lived, Dante's grave, the mausoleum of the ancient rulers, as well as a lot of temples, whose age consists of one and a half thousand years.

Ravenna is a city located in the east of Italy. It is the capital of the province of Ravenna, which is in the region (Emilia-Romagna). The province borders with three largest areas of its region: in the West with (Bologna), in the north - with Ferrara (Ferrara), in the south - from Forl-Cesena (Forlì-Cesena). On the east side of Ravenna - the Adriatic Sea (Mare Adriatico), which is part of the Mediterraneo Sea (Mar Mediterraneo).

More than millennia ago, the city was directly on the Mare Adriatico coast. But over time, the water retreated, and the lowland was formed as a result of the excretion. Now Ravenna is connected to the Adriatic Sea Kandiano Channel (Canale Candiano).

Ravenna Square is 652 km2, and the number of inhabitants exceeds 150 thousand people. The historical center is located 2 km2. Previously, he was surrounded by the fortress walls, from which only the gate was left. And where the reinforcement lines used to stretch, now there are a boulevard ring on three sides, while the railway is from the West.

After in the XIII century. On People's Square (Piazza del Popolo) built a house for the ruler of the city, the residence of Bernardino flights (La Residenza di Bernardino Da Polenta), it became the main square of Ravenna. After a few years, the Romagna Rector house appeared here (Palazzo del Rettore di Romagna).

When Ravenna seized the Venetian Republic, the Venice Palace (Palazzetto Veneziano), which began to play the Town Hall function. In front of him on the granite collens, set the statues of two saints. This is the patron saint of the city of St. Apollinaria (Sant'APollinare) and Vitaly Milansky (San Vitale), who killed for faith, being buried alive (stones looked like).

When Ravenna re-published the theocratic state of the Pontific region (Stato PontificiO), the city became its administrative center. In 1544, the rector house was expanded at the expense of part of the Venice Palace, and turned into an apostolic palace (Palazzo Apostolico), the residence of the Cardinal and all Catholic departments of the city.

In 1681, the Polent House was demolished, and in his place there was a town hall, known as Palazzo Merlato. It was united by the transition with the Venetian Palace. The residence of the bishop at the end of the XVII century. was repaired and expanded, and from the end of the XIX century. It places prefecture.

Nowadays, Piazza Del Popolo is a very busy place where various events are constantly occurring: concerts, festivals, fairs, winter - Christmas tree. For tourists, the People's Square is convenient because it is possible to quickly get to many attractions of the city. For convenience, at each corner of the area there are signs to the main memos.

Churches

There are a lot of churches in Ravenna, which appeared in the V-VI Art. AD Many of them are no longer valid: these are museums. And therefore, it is possible to get inside only after buying a ticket. At the same time, it is more profitable to purchase a combined ticket. So, one of them can be visited the main attractions of Ravenna: Basilica of St. Vitaly, Baptistery of Orthodox, a new church of St. Apollinaria, as well as the Archbishop Museum and Mausoleum of Gali Plachia.

Another unique feature of the ancient temples is mosaic. Unlike many churches of Europe, the walls and domes of which decorate the frescoes, here about the life of Jesus, the apostles, the saints are narrated by paintings, laid out with a colorful glass, marble, semi-precious stones, gold, smalt - it is incredibly fascinating.

San Vitale Temple (Basilica di San Vitale) is located near the railway station, on Via San Vitale. This temple is one of the most famous attractions of Ravenna.

Its architecture is a well-preserved monument of early Christian churches: built a temple between 527-548. Because at the time of construction, the city was under the rule of Byzantium, architects, when developing the facade of Basilica, successfully combined Western and oriental motives.

But the antiquity of the Church is not the main reason for the popularity of the Basilica of St. Vitaly. At the sight of the arches laid out by mosaic, the dome, the capitals, niches, any person who belongs to the temple covers admiration. Multicolored tiles, of which drawings are laid out, shine and sparkling, giving the effect of the scope.

The paintings created by the ancient masters are narrated by the life of Christ, the Prophets, the Apostles. Portraits of Emperor Justinian (Giustiniano I Il Grande) and his wife Feodora (Teodora), made in the lifetime of the ruling couple, are particularly valuable.

Church of St. Apollinaria in the classroom (Basilica di Sant'APollinare in Classe) can be found on Via Romea Sud, 224. This street is located on the periphery, five kilometers from the center.

Built the temple one and a half thousand years ago on the shore Adriatic Sea, not far from the class of class, outside the city walls. According to the legend, it was here that the first bishop were equal to St. Apollinarium. His power was found during the construction of the temple, and for a long time were inside the temple. But in the IX Art. Due to the constant pirates of the pirates, the remains of the saint were transferred to the city, to Church of St. Apollinaria Nuovo (Basilica di Sant'APollinare Nuovo). Here they stayed nine centuries, until 1748, then the relics returned to the temple located in the classroom, and placed in the main altar. Also inside the church is ten sarcophagus, some of which bishops are buried equal.

Interestingly, the construction of the temple has happened quickly: it began in 535, it ended three years later. And here the mosaic decoration of the church was created three centuries. Ancient masters gave the mosaic tiles rounded shape, which made it possible to create an illusion that the ceiling and the walls are covered with a soft beautiful carpet. Since the mosaic was put unevenly, from different sections of the temple the same place looks different. Unfortunately, the temple was looted by Venetians in 1449, and an ancient mosaic can be seen only in the apse. The rest of the decoration appeared after these events.

Cathedral of the Resurrection of the Lord of our Jesus Christ (La Cattedrale Metropolitana Della Risurrezione Di Nostro Signore Gesù Cristo) is the main temple of Ravenna, which is located on Via Battistero, 2. He is temple complexThe composition of which also includes the Palazzo ArciveScovile Palace, the Baptistery of the Orthodox and Bell Tower, built in the tenth century.

The building that stands on Square now appeared in the first half of the XVIII century. At the site of the cathedral, which was built at the end of the IV century. And rebuilt in the X Art. Only crypt and the cylindrical bell tower remained from him, which heavily contrasted with the baroque facade. Inside the temple, Ambon VI was installed, made of marble, as well as two sarcophague of those timesMade of marble and decorated with scenes of Christian themes. In one of them, Archbishop Rinaldo Da Concorezzo was buried, which died in 1321 in the second, the relics of St. Barbatiana (San Barbaziano) stored, which lived in the first half of the V Art.

Baptistery Orthodox (Battistero Degli Ortodossi or Battistero Neoniano) is located on Via Gioacchino Rasponi. This one is ancient temple Ravenna, decorated with Byzantine mosaic: built it in IV-V centuries. You can get here for a single ticket that allows you to view five attractions of Ravenna. Moreover, inspect the ancient structures, it is better to start with this temple: Despite the beauty of his mosaics, the rest of the buildings will eclipse the Baptistery.

They built a baptismal on the foundation of the ancient Roman terms (bath), and in the first years she was called the Baptistery of Orthodox. This name meant that the temple belonged to "Christians of the right faith." There was an opposition to followers of Arian Yressee, who also had their own baptistery (built in VI Art., Battistero Degli Ariani was preserved to this day). This teaching in those years was popular and went into incision with the teachings of the church. In the second half of the V c. Bishop Neon ordered to decorate the temple with a mosaic, after which the Baptistery was called in his honor.

Externally, the baptismal is a brick octagonal structure, on the four sides of which are low apses. In one of them preserved the throne of the VI century.

Inside the baptistery is equipped as follows: In the center of the eight-marched font. The dome from the inside decorates mosaic. In the center of it - the medallion, where the scene of the Baptism of Jesus is depicted when the Holy Spirit is coming. Around the medallion in a circle - twelve apostles. Ambon, followed by the priest reading the Bible, carved from a solid piece of marble. The figures of saints are located on the walls in a circle, which are observed in the center of the sacrament of baptism.

The new Basilica of the Holy Apollinaria (Basilica di Sant'APollinare Nuovo) is located on Via Di Roma. Built the court church in 493-526. By order of the ruler, the theodoric of the Great (Teodorico Il Grande) is equal to the Royal Palace (not preserved).

Like all the churches built by this king, the Basilica first belonged to the representatives of the Arian current and was dedicated to Christ the Savior. After Ravenna was under the rule of Byzantium, the Arianism was forbidden here, and the church, together with other Arian temples, was transferred to Orthodox. Thus, in 561, she became referred to as the church of St. Martina of the Tours (Martino Di Tours), who lived in two centuries to these events and was an enemy of Arians. As a result of transformations, all the mosaics of the temple of the Arian topics were changed to new pictures or painted. The rest were saved.

The current name of the temple received after due to the frequent raids of pirates in 856, the power of St. Apollinaria from the city located behind the city of the Church dedicated to this saint. They were here nine centuries, after which they returned to the initial place.
In the X-XI centuries. Bell tower appeared near the church, the height of which was 38 m. In the XVI Art. The floor of the temple raised almost a half meters due to the growth of groundwater level. Because of this, most of the mosaic floor was lost, which was treated to the VI century.

Mausoleum

Ravenna is a city where the kings lived and ruled for a long time. Therefore, it is not surprising that it was here that many of them built tomb themselves. The most famous of them is the Mausoleum of Galley Placia and theodorich the Great. Also buried the great poet, Dante Aligiery. His mausoleum is also placed within the city.

Mausoleo Di Galla Placidia (Mausoleo Di Galla Placidia) is located on Via San Vitale, near the Church of St. Vitaly. They built it for the daughter of the Roman emperor Galla Placidia (Galla Placidia), which from 425 to 437. Managed Western Roman Empire instead of a young son.

In the previous times, historians believed that Gaul was buried here. But now scientists refute this opinion, arguing that since she died in, he was buried in the genital tomb, located in the capital of Italy.

In any case, there is no possibility to accurately install whether Gaul was buried here. The fact is that in a sarcophage intended for her, there was really a body before, which was put on a cypress throne during the burial. In the sarcophage there were small windows - and in 1577, curious boys looked at one of them a burning candle to see what inside ... After a fire, there were only a few bones, skull and burnt pieces of wood.

Mausoleum was not only a tomb: for some time he was a chapel-chapel at the Palace Church, and was dedicated to the martyr of Lavrentia, whose image is located opposite the entrance. The inner walls and dome of the mausoleum from the inside are decorated with a mosaic, which is considered the most ancient in Ravenna. Unlike other mosaics of the ancient temples of the city, there is no influence of the Byzantine style: when creating paintings, the masters adhered to an ancient Roman-Hellenistic mosaic tradition. Therefore, the mosaic decoration of the Mausoleum is very magnificent, and the construction is one of the most important monuments of early Christian art.

The Mausoleum of Theodorich the Great (Mausoleo Di Teodorico) is located in the Parco Di Teodorico Park of the same name, the entrance from Via Delle Industrie or Via Pomposa. In the old days, the tomb was on the outskirts of the city, in the midst of the cemetery. Now it is located 1.5 km from the temple of St. Vitaly, on the edge of the park.

This attraction is the most famous building sharp. Built the Mausoleum for himself, their king theodorich Great in 520. After death, he was buried here, but he was in the tomb for a long time. A few years later, the Byzantium seized Ravenna, the remains of the king were taken out of the mausoleum, and the construction was redesigned to the chapel.

The Mausoleum of Theodorich is highly different from other buildings Ravenna: externally, it resembles a well-fortified fortress tower.

For the construction of the tomb of the master used blocks from Istrian limestone, which was mined on the territory of Croatia. The dome of the Mausoleum was outstretched from a piece of solid stone weighing three hundred tons. To hoisting it up, the goths poured the Mausoleum of the Earth, ringed on the artificial hill of the dome, secured, after which the tomb was dug off.

The body of the king after the burial was on the second floor, which the sarcophague placed here is. Below was supposed to bury representatives of the royal family, but the Byzantines violated these plans. After the theodoric body was carried out of the Mausoleum, a modest chapel was equipped on the first tier: It looks here everything is very ascetic.

Dante's Mausoleum (Tomba Di Dante) and the Poet Museum is located on Via Dante Alighieri, 9. The tomb was built in 1780, after four hundred years after the death of the Creator of the "Divine Comedy". In front of this, Dante's ascent could not find peace for centuries and did not delay in one place for a long time.

Dante Aligiery settled in Ravenna after expulsion from (Firenze) in 1303 due to belonging to the Party of White Glevives. Here he wrote the final part of the "Divine Comedy". In the summer of 1321, Dante was sent to the (Venezia) ambassador to the conclusion of the world. Returning to Ravenna, the poet picked up with malaria and died.

The ruler of the city, Guido Novello da Polenta, wanted to build a magnificent tomb for Dante, but lost power, and could not complete the project. Therefore, I buried the poet at the temple of St. Francis. In 1519, Michelangelo (Michelangelo) received permission to transport the remains of Dante to Florence. But upon arrival of the sarcophagus, it turned out that it was empty: the remains were painted by Franciscans who did not want to give to the Florentines dust Dante and hid the urn in the territory of the monastery.

In 1780, by order of the Papal Leah, Valetni Gonzaga (Luigi Valenti Gonzaga) was erected over the former grave of the poet, mausoleum, setting marble sarcophagus in it and placing the urn in the city. In 1810, Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleone Bonaparte) dismissed the monastery at which there was a tomb - and the monks again hid the remains of Dante, jumped under the wall of the chapel located near the monastery.

After that, the brothers left the city, and the information about the location of the urn was lost. They found it by chance during restoration work in 1865. During World War II, the remains of the poet were also stayed outside the mausoleum, as Ravenna was constantly subjected to bombardments. Only at the end of the hostilities, the urn with dust returned to the mausoleum, where still stays.

And for a long time served as a house temple to local bishops. The uniqueness of the chapel is that it was the only church of the Orthodox direction built in the theodorich, during the time of which Arianism prevailed in Ravenna. From the inside the chapel decorate various mosaic compositions, the most famous of which is the image of Christ, fighting with the snake and lion.

Ravenna is known not only by very old churches, mosaic, mausoleums. There are many other interesting facilities that are able to interest a curious tourist. Among them is a house where Lord Byron lived for several years, the most famous work of which is the poem "Pilgrimage Child-Harold." Also in Ravenna there is a falling tower, a fortress, and of course opera theatrewhose history consists of almost two centuries.

House where Bayron lived

Palazzo Guiccioli (Palazzo Guiccioli) is located on Via Camillo Benso Cavour, 52-54. This house is known in that Lord Byron lived here, the British poet Romantic. Moreover, the palace belonged not to him: owned him the count of Allesandro Gwichcholi (Alessandro Guiccioli), Husband of the mistress of Bairon, Teresa. The poet lived in his house for about two years, Alessandro knew about the connection of Lord with his wife, and did not protest. It also did not prevent them from conducting joint cases associated with the theater.

But this situation was not satisfied with Teresu. Therefore, she persuaded her father, Graph Gamba, to achieve a divorce from Fiya VII. Pope agreed, but with the condition that Teresa will not live with a lover, but with his father. Thus, in 1821, a couple of couple moved to the house of Count Gamba. In the same year, Father and Brother Teresa were involved in a political conspiracy, and therefore were forced to leave Ravenna. At first they went to, then - in. And all this time the poet followed them, until he decided to go for freedom of Greece. There he fell under the rain, heavily sick and died at the age of thirty six years old.

At the moment, the house where the poet lived in Ravenna is located on the restoration. After completion of the overhaul, there will be two expositions here: the Byrona and Risorgemento Museum (the so-called national liberation war in Italy).

Brancaleone Fortress (Rocca Brancaleone) is located on the street of the same name. Fort built in 1470, when the city was under the jurisdiction of the Venetian Republic (Repubblica di Venezia). Venetsians built up the Citadel not only to protect against external enemies, but also because of the concerns of the appearance of the insurrection in Ravenna: 36 guns looked at the city and only 14 - outward.

As a result, the fort, surrounded by powerful walls, was in the foot of which deep rally dug. The total area of \u200b\u200bit was 2180 m2.

The fortress survived several ozia, at the beginning of XVI two times fell. At the end of the XIX century. The owner of Rocca Brancaleone became representatives of the Rava family (RAVA). The fortress has lost their defense significance, and the gardens were broken on its territory.

In 1965, the citadel went to the city, which was paid for it 90 million. As a result, after large-scale restoration work, a park appeared here surrounded by powerful fortress walls. It has been equipped with a playground, as well as the stage where rock concerts are often held, jazz festivals, various cultural events. In the summer, the park is arranged in the open-air film.

Falling tower

The City Watchtower (Torre Civica) is located on Via Ponte Marino, 2. It is also known as the falling tower: its tilt angle is so great that the building has strengthened the steel frame outside, the entrance is forbidden.

Built the tower in the XII century. Initially, it was called "Dei Beccai" because of the meat stores located around meat. In the XIII Art. Papal curators ordered to destroy almost all the towers in the city, but Torre Civica was not touched. For centuries, she served as a watchdog and alarm tower: guard, which was on it, in case of danger, beat in the bell.

Since the building is built on an unstable soil, which is constantly destroyed by groundwater, the construction began to give a roll. At the beginning of this century, the landmark did not collapse, the top of the tower was removed. Now the height of the structure is 39 m.

The main theater of the city is Aligiery Theater (Teatro Alighieri), located on Via Angelo Mariani, 2. Built it in 1852. Instead of heavily dilapidated Teatro ComUnitativo.

The auditorium of the Aligiery Theater was designed for 830 seats, and his facade architects gave a neoclassical style. The first few decades here were constantly put on Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi, Vincenzo Bellini, Domenico Donizetti (Domenico Gaetano Maria Donizetti).

In 1959, the theater was closed for overhaul, which lasted eight years. As a result, the scenes were completely redone, the hall, a new lighting system was installed, new chandeliers appeared, the upholstery on the chairs. After opening in the theater, they began to put more opera performances, dramatic plays, giving concerts of symphonic music.

Camping

Guests of Ravenna can not only explore the man-made sights, but also to relax in nature both in the city and outside it. For example, not far from Ravenna there national ParkWith which there are many representatives of the animal world, as well as a safari park, where more seven animals live. They will find something and divers: the Paguro platform located on the seabed has long been one of the most visited places of the Adriatic Sea.

Hanging gardens (I Giardini Pensili) are located on Piazza S. Francesco, on the roof of Palazzo della Provincia. Here you can relax well in a hot summer day.

Palazzo Della Provincia was built on the ruins of the burned Palazzo Rasponi (Palazzo Rasponi), from which only a small crypt (La Cripta Rasponi) was preserved under hanging gardens. Inside the crypt, you can admire the ancient mosaic floors and works of modern mosaic art. There is also a small altar for the service. It should be noted that the destination of the crypt has never been used.

From the crypt you can climb into the garden, which around the perimeter is surrounded by powerful walls, which drown out street noise. Here are a fountain, picturesque thickets, flowerbeds, benches. There is also a small brick tower built in a neo-neo-style, the entrance to which is closed. From here you can go to the plot, because of which the place and the name of the hanging gardens. The large arch of the garden is made of marble clock clock, which was once located at the churches of San Sebastiano and San Marco. From the site overlooking beautiful view At the surroundings.

Platform Puguro

Not far from Ravenna, in the depths of the Adriatic Sea, there is a very interesting place for divers. This is a Paguro Platform platform, which is located on the seabed in front of Porto Corsini. So called small cityplaced on a plot where Kandiano Channel flows into the sea.

A platform appeared in the middle of the last century after gas reserves were found in the depths of the Adriatic Sea. In the fall of 1965, a misfortune occurred off the coast of Ravena: during work there was a gas eruption. As a result, a fire originated on the platform, after which it exploded and drowned, immersed to a depth of 25 m. Three engineers died, the water post spent 30 m above sea level, and a huge crater appeared on the day. The eruption was able to stop only three months later.

The platform from the bottom of the sea was not removed - and since then it is popular place Among diving loversSince in addition to the sunken facilities, you can well consider the residents of the sea, who have found refuge here. Most often here you can see marine stars, lobster, shrimp, crabs, acne, sea rams.

How to get

Despite the fact that Ravenna is located near the sea and is associated with it by the channel, it is possible to get here only on a cruise ship or on a yacht. Ferry crossings are currently not serviced. There is also no airport near the city, so people who fly to Italy by the plane will have to get with transfers. At a distance of 90 km from the city there are three airportsFrom which you can go to the equal to the bus, the train, but the most convenient for the machine. Transfer can be ordered for.

If it is decided to get to be equal to the train, the train schedule can be viewed here :. Also here go buses from different cities of Italy and Europe.

Plane

The closer to Ravenna, at a distance of 40 km away, is the airport in Forli (Aeroporto di Forlì). A little further - in Bologna (Bologna) and (Rimini). Also there is (Venezia), but the road from him to Ravenna land transport will take from two to three and a half hours.

Federico Fellini International Airport (Aeroporto Internazionale Federico Fellini), which is located in Rimini, separates from Ravenna 70 km. From the airport, within walking distance is Aerostazione. From here, the bus must be reached to the bus station 4 Rimini FS, which is located on Via Dante Alighieri. Then you need to walk to the Rimini railway station or bus station, which are located on the same area, on Piazzale Cesare Battisti. From here an hour drive to Ravenna by train or bus. You can also order a transfer from the airport on the site

Stazione Di Ravenna (Stazione Di Ravenna) is located on Piazza Luigi Carlo Farini, 13, ten minutes walk from the center. Trains come here that they run between the cities of Rimini - Ferrara (Rimini - Ferrara), Ravenna - Faenza, Ravenna - Castel Bolognese (Ravenna - Castel Bolognese). There is also trains to Bologna, Venice (Venezia), (Verona).

Ravenna is a fairly small town in the province, located about 10 kilometers from the Adriatic Sea coast. Before I visited it for the first time, I knew that Ravenna is famous among tourists around the world with his mosaics. This fact, as well as the advice of many friends and convinced me that you need to go to Raal! I hope the story about her below will help me convince you :)

I would advise you to go to Ravenna for at least 2-3 days, so that you have time to do not rush to inspect all the sights (and they are enough), take a walk around the city and visit the coast.

How to get

From Russia to reach equal to the most convenient on the plane. If you want to visit it within the framework of Italy, the car and railway communication is as well developed, and it will be easily accessible to the city. That is, in general, land or air transport is most convenient. That is how I advise. Because despite the fact that Ravenna is just a few kilometers from the Adriatic Sea, there is no large port there, and it is impossible to get to the ferry.

Plane

If you search on the Internet information about the airport is Ravenna, you will immediately see that it is there, but it is impossible to fly from Russia to there (it will not work with a transplant), as it serves a very small number of flights.

Therefore, it is most convenient to fly from Russia to one of the nearest cities that have international Airports: Namely from Bologna. There is also an airport in Rimini, but now there are no tickets from Moscow and St. Petersburg to there. Therefore, let's consider Bologna as the most convenient option.

Bologna

Bologna - the capital of the province is approximately 80 km from Ravenna, and it can be easily reached by train. A ticket - Bologna - can do a completely inexpensive - Alitalia airline it costs about 150 EUR (9,500 RUB), though with a change in Rome. Time on the way - 6-7 hours. But Alitalia has direct flights, just like Aeroflot. The time in their way they have the same - 3 hours 30 minutes, but they will cost more: 305 EUR (19,400 RUB) and 261 EUR (16,600 RUB), respectively. There are no direct flights from St. Petersburg direct flights, but with a change in Amsterdam, you can fly KLM airline. The minimum time on the way is 6.5 hours and the flight will cost 230 EUR (14,500 RUB). You can also fly Alitalia with a change in Moscow. The time on the way will be as much, but it can do a little more expensive - 250 EUR (15 700 RUB). Find options for flights to your dates.

On how to get from Bologna to Ravenna by train, I will tell you more in more detail in the relevant section below.

By train

In general, between large and not very cities, railway transport is well developed. The station is located 7-10 minutes walk from the city center, where all trains arrive (including the train from Bologna). Bologna Airport can be reached by train with a transfer to the center of Bologna. Trains - Ravenna walk often, approximately every hour, the ticket will cost 7.35 EUR and the time on the way is 1 hour and 20 minutes. This is a train a la "electricist", and the price of it is always the same, so you do not need to buy a ticket in advance. But if you are traveling from Milan, Rome or another city, which is located far from Ravenna, I advise you to buy a ticket online in advance on Tren Italia, it will cost cheaper. For example, the price of a ticket from Milan begins from 20 EUR, from Rome - from 32, from Naples - from 43.

The railway station is very close to the center, literally at 7-10 minutes on foot. As a landmark on the map below, I highlighted the path from the station to one of central Square Ravenna - Piazza Del Popolo.

Bus

I doubt that you decide to go to Ravenna from Russia by bus :) But, if Ravenna is part of your tour in Europe, the bus is the most economical way to get it.

Flixbus bus company is now very popular in Europe, the passage of their buses will cost only a few euros. And buses are very comfortable, with air conditioning, toilet and even free Wi-Fi.

In Ravenna, it can be reached from Verona (the road will cost only 5 EUR), Rome (9 EUR), Milan (also 9 EUR) and other cities of Italy, Switzerland. There is no need to buy a ticket in advance for savings. Usually they are always, and the price does not change. But just in case, the availability of tickets and accurate schedule can be checked on companies.

Arriving buses not to the city center, from there to the same Piazza del Popolo on foot no longer walk. But you can take the bus number 1 right to the center or No. 80 to railway Station. The ticket can be purchased directly from the driver, or in any tobacco store (Look for the Tabacchina sign), the cost is the same everywhere - 1.30 EUR.

Car

Getting from Russia to Ravenna by car - it's not easy. This is at least 2600-2900 kilometers (depending on the selected route), paid roads and the passage of boundaries between countries. And the last time is unpredictable, on my experience, there were simply gigantic queues between Belarus and Poland.

Before going to such a long way, keep in mind that it is 1-2 overnight stays on the road. Again, depending on how much time you spent in line at the border, if you stood for a couple of hours, you can do and one overnight stay at the hotel, and if I stood somewhere 15 - this is already completely different.

Below for example, apply the map of the route is -even.

In my opinion, the game is worth the candle only if you are planning a big and long eurotour in which a solid trip in Italy will come.

Another thing, if you took a car in Italy for rent (read the features of car rental in the article below). In this case, you will not be difficult to get to the equal.

From the north of Italy, you can get along the highway (for IT. Autostrada) E35, which then goes into E45. As you can see on the map below, it is convenient to get from Bologna, Milan, Turin, Verona and Florence, if we talk about the northern part of the country.

You can also drive through the Adriatic coast from Venice on the SS309 highway. This is not a highway as E35, but you can look plenty of beauty.

Ferry

The port in Ravenna is very small, the ferries do not arrive there. But you can rent a boat for further travel on the Adriatic.

When the season. When it is better to go

Ravenna is located in the province in the north of Italy. In general, in this region there is a fairly warm winter: the temperature fluctuates near the zero of degrees. While in the summer is hot, especially in July-August.

If you are going to go to Ravenna to watch the sights, and not on the beach holiday on the Adriatic coast (which is located 10 km from the city), I would advise the months from October to June. At this time, it holds more or less comfortable weather for long walks. I was equal even in December, and, even if it was cool on the street, I didn't froze at all.

But for beach holidaysOf course, the most of July, August and the first half of September are suitable, but at this time the most tourists (from the Italians themselves traditionally leave in August). Prices can be somewhat higher, but most often it concerns the coastal cities, it is still located a little bit in distance.

Ravenna in summer

As I wrote above, July and August - the ideal months for a beach holiday, but for sightseeing, I would not advise you to ride in the summer. In my opinion, it is too hot there, the temperature comes to 30 degrees, and there are more tourists. Therefore, June, in my opinion, does not fit at all: the weather is hot, while water in the sea is still cold :)

Ravenna in autumn

One of my favorite days to visit is equal to In general, Italy. If in the first half of September is still hot and quite a lot of tourists, then since the end of the month and until mid-October on the street is still very warm, but people are much smaller. If you wish, you can even swim :) But it still depends on the specific season and the degree of your quenching.

In addition, the harvest is coming in the fall, so in Emilia-Romagna (where, in my opinion, and so always serve and sell all the most delicious), it starts just a feast! Fresh vegetables and fruits for every taste.

Equal in spring

From the beginning of March, it is already very warm and pleasant on the street, so it is clear in the spring to be equal to Ravenna. I always liked it :)

Everything quickly greashes, pleasantly after the long Russian winter stroll around the city and coast. Tourists are quite a bit, so set up a quiet and relaxing holiday.

Ravenna in winter

Despite the proximity of the Adriatic Sea, do not be afraid and boldly go to Ravenna and in winter, if such an opportunity has introduced. The temperature is rarely lowered below zero, but in the evening it becomes cold enough. There are, of course, cloudy and rainy days, but there are warm, sunny. Snow is infrequent and lies not long (the photo below is a rare exception). If you are going in December, I can assure you, the city will be beautifully decorated, but quite restrained. In Italy, do not decorate so massively, as in Germany or Switzerland. I personally Ravenna especially like Christmas. On Piazza Del Popolo Square is installed Christmas tree, the Christmas market opens, which sell Christmas toys, desserts and hot mulled wine. There are also concerts and performances of local sports, dance and choral groups.

Areas. Where better live

Ravenna - the town is completely small and quite calm. Therefore, a big difference in which part you will live - no.

Relatively inexpensive accommodation can be found in the very center, so when I traveled, I stayed there. Night in a small Bed & Breakfast will cost about 35 EUR per person. You can book on, but you can check if there is no price somewhere more profitable.

Out of the zone designated on the map you can find apartments (hotels as you see, are still in the very center). You can use the search. And if you suddenly find an apartment that you will like it very much, but it is located a bit in distance, do not worry, boldly book, as it is equal to a small city, and it will be easily accessible :)

What are the prices for rest

Ravenna - the city is quite a tourist, but nevertheless, relatively inexpensive.

If we talk about housing, then in the center you can find a lot of small hotels in which you will be fed up with a delicious breakfast, and the bike for rent will give free. And all this for 35 EUR per night.

To dare to have lunch or dinner, I advise you to go a little from tourist streets (read about them below). The cost of the dish will be 2-3 EUR less, and it will not be warmed / frosthed food. And the kitchen of Emilia-Romagna is known throughout Italy and should not miss the opportunity to meet her.

Main attractions. What to see

All over the world is famous for its Byzantine and Aryan mosaics. I think if you are purposefully going to visit it, you know perfectly well. Therefore, be prepared for the fact that most of the attractions will be associated with mosaics. You can buy a single ticket for the inspection of the main mosaics - for an adult it will cost 9.5 EUR and is sold at the box office near Basilica San Vital. The ticket makes it possible to inspect the following sights (more details about each of them I will tell below).

I wrote in the brackets of the name on Italian, so that on arrival in the equal it was easier to navigate :).

You really need to look much, and if you are in Ravenna for 1-2 days, I advise you to familiarize yourself with the schedule of work of each of the attractions to miss anything. And, to be honest, it is not all interesting places Ravenna, which should be visited.

Top 5.

Attractions included in the ticket, which I wrote above are protected by UNESCO. I can not disagree with their beauty and significance, so I will allocate them as the top 5 equal :)

• Basilica San Vital VI century - One of the main churches is equal to the Byzantine mosaics. The building definitely deserves attention both outside and inside, as the arch is laid out marble mosaics. I spent not one hour there!
  Address: Via San Vitale, 17.

• Basilica San Apollinar-Nuovo- Another important church is equal with very beautiful mosaics devoted to the scenes of the New Testament, holy, angels and prophets.
  Address: Via di Roma, 53.

• Neonian Baptistery (or otherwise Orthodox) - the oldest building is equal to - as well as known for its mosaics. But without them, there, in general, very beautiful inside.
  Address: Piazza Duomo, 1.

• Archbishopskaya Capella was built in 5-6 centuries, while museum It was founded only in the 17th century. In addition to religious plots, Capella Mosaic is famous for the ornaments of nature and birds.
  Address: Piazza Arcivescovado, 1.

• Mausoleum of Galla Placia- Let you not be embarrassed by a small building size, do not disappoint before the time, because it is here that the oldest mosaics are equal. Pay attention to the night sky mosaic, it fascinates :)
  Address: Via Giuliano Argentario, 17.

Beaches. What better

The distance is just 10 km from the Adriatic Sea make the equal to the very attractive for tourists who came to the sea. And vice versa. At any time of the year in sunny weather, it is pleasant to walk along the coast. In general, in the summer this zone is very tourist, well developed and there are many tourists. In the cold season, the year there are practically no people there, and you can safely walk along the sandy beach in almost alone.

Several good beaches nearby:

• Punta Marina.- The nearest of them to Ravenna, is just 9 km away. You can drive by bus number 70, which departs from the train station and goes only 20 minutes. A ticket will cost 2.30 EUR. But my favorite type of transport is still a bike. In the summer it will be very hot, but at another time of the year - the best wayIn my opinion :) And since Ravenna is the city of pedestrians and cyclists, the likelihood that in your hotel can be taken on rental, great. In the summer, on the beach, you can rent an umbrella and sun beds, a lot of cafes and vans are open.

Below the map is to get from Ravenna to Punta Marina. The rest of the beaches are located a bit north and south along the coast:

• Marina di Ravenna- if you drive 70 bus further, you will reach it beautiful beachwhere you can also take everything you need. The road will take half an hour.
• Lido Adriano. - Also good and all equipped in the beach season. You can take the same from the railway station by bus number 80. The beach is a little further from the city, and the time on the way will be 30 minutes.

• Marina di Ravenna;
• Porto Corsini;
• Marina Romea;
• Lido Di Dante;
• Lido di Classe.

Churches and temples. What are you worth a visit

In addition to those basil that I listed above, in my opinion, the following deserve attention:

• Church San Giovanni Evangelista. - The first attraction you will see if you arrive by train, as it is right on the way from the railway station to the city center. Previously, her walls were also decorated with mosaics, but after bombing during the Second World War, only a few fragments came to us. The entrance is free.
  The entrance is free.
  Address: Piazzale Anita Garibaldi.

• Ravenna Cathedral (Duomo di Ravenna)"Despite the fact that this is the main temple of the city, he is one of the newest (18th century), since the previous cathedral was destroyed and this was erected in his place. But some elements of the interior remained from the ancient temple inside. But, nevertheless, this is one of the few churches in Ravenna, where there is no mosaics! Maybe therefore there is a free entry?
  Address: Piazza Duomo.

• Baptistery Ariana (Battistero Degli Ariani) Outside similar to Neonian. It has no other jewelry, in addition to a mosaic that adorns his dome. But it is still worth a visit, since each mosaic is unique in Ravenna :) The entrance is worth 1 EUR.
  Address: Piazzetta Degli Ariani.

• Basilica Sant Apollinar-in-Class (SANT "Apollinare in Classe) it was built in the 16th century at the site of the burial of one of the bishops of the city. It can see the newest mosaics in it. The church is not in the center of the city, so it makes sense to go (and this is about 5 km from the center), only if you have enough time in Ravenna. Otherwise, I advise you to concentrate on the rest of the sights. Entrance ticket Wake up at 3 EUR.
  Address: Via Romea Sud, 224.

Museums. What are you worth a visit

If after examining a mosaic and cathedrals, you have time left in the city, I advise you to visit the following museums:

• IN Museum of Arts Ravenna (Museo d'Arte Della Città di Ravenna)represented as a permanent exposition - the objects of medieval and modern artAnd temporary exhibitions. Schedule Recently, it is better to check in advance on the site of the museum. Adult ticket will cost 3 EUR, preferential - at 2 EUR.

Address: Via di Roma.

• MuseumDante Aligiere- It presents exhibits related to the work of the writer. Also nearby are located Dante's grave.Adult entrance costs 3 EUR, for children, students and pensioners - 2. Keep in mind that it is closed on Mondays.

Address: Via Dante, 3.

• Domus Dei Tappeti Di Pietra - The complex of buildings in which you can also admire the unique mosaic (in the complex 14 halls and 3 courtyards!). This is one of the main archaeological finds In Italy over the past decades. The cost of full ticket - 4 EUR, preferential - 3.

Address: Via Gian Battista Barbiani, 16.

Parks

In my opinion, the Adriatic Sea coast is better suited for walks (it is only worth going out of the city, and immediately see the unimaginable nature of Emilia-Romagna), but there are a couple of parks in the city. Although so green I would not call him.

• Giardini Pubblici. - Park B. historical center cities. It is very small, but it's nice to walk there and stay a little in the fresh air between the inspections of the mosaics and the sights of the city. For children equipped playgrounds.
  Entrance to the park is free, but note that it closes with a sunset.

Address: VIALE SANTI BALDINI, 4.

• Parco Regionale Del Delta Del Po - This is not just a park, but rather a reserve near the city. If the weather allows, there you can walk at least all day! Excellent option if you want not only to see the city, but also beautiful nature Region.

Address: C.So G.Mazzini, 200-44022 Comacchio, Ferrara. From the railway station you can reach by bus number 4, travel time is approximately 30 minutes.

Tourist streets

I can honestly, allocate some separate tourist streets in Ravenna difficult. In my opinion, the historic center of the city is one long street :) The center is almost the entire pedestrian, consisting of small and not very streets, courtyards and squares. Therefore, to get acquainted with the city, just just go in the center where your eyes look, and you still see anyone else's attractions anyway. Or the same route can be done by bike.

Just in case, on the map, I noted the most lively streets of the Center: Via Camillo Benso Cavour, Via Mentana, Via Mario Gordini, Via Angelo Mariani, Via Corrado Ricci.

What to look for 1 day

If you arrived in Ravenna just 1 day, I will immediately say, you will have a desire to return :). Because it is necessary to get acquainted with this city in just a day unreal! In order to have time to quickly see the main thing, I advise you to visit the main mosaics (see the section "Top 5 Attractions"). This will take the whole day day. So immediately upon arrival in Ravenna, go to the ticket office for a ticket to have time to explore as much mosaics.

• 10:00 - buy a subscription and immediately go to Basilica San Vital;
• 11:30 - Mausoleum Galla Placia is very close, go immediately into it;
• 12:30 - Walk a little center to Neonian Baptistery and go to it;
• 13:30 - Then go to the Archbishop Capella, which is literally around the corner;
• 14:30 - Lunch. Try not to lunch later, because then in restaurants until the evening kitchen can close;
• 15:30 - Stroll a little more to the old center Ravenna to the Cathedral of the Basilica of San Apollinar-Nuovo;
• 16:30 - And now that all major sights are inspected, slowly look at the vintage buildings of the city, Piazza del Popolo, Dante's grave;
• 18:00 - Time when most restaurants are not yet served dinner, so you can go to the hotel at this short break and move the spirit a bit;
• 20:00 - Be sure to look at the evening historical center, and go to the restaurant local cuisine or Enoteca, where you and typical dishes for the region will be coaxed, and the local fault will offer.

The day will fly absolutely not noticeable!

What to see in the vicinity

If you have a little time left, it's just wonderful, because in the Emilia-Romagna region there are many places that should be seen.

Adriatic

I, for example, I love to take a bike in Ravenna for rent (and you can ask them in your hotel or guest house) and along Via Adolfo Bellucci Street to go on BUTdriatic coast. In clear weather, this walk will be enjoyed even in the cold season. 9 kilometers I wigged pedals, enjoying the beautiful fields of Emilia-Romagna. On the coast there are special parking, where you can leave a bike and go for a walk on the embankment (well, or swim if you arrived in warm months).

Bologna (80 km)

Speaking about the journey in this region Italy, it is impossible not to mention Bologna - Its capital, which is only 80 km from Ravenna. In this medieval city, you can spend several days at once. For me, on its beauty and atmosphere, it is on a par with Rome and Venice. Medieval cathedrals, open gallery, the oldest University University of Universita Degli Studi Di Bologna - on their inspection should lay at least 2-3 days. On how to get to Bologna, I wrote above in the "Transport: Train" section.

Ferrara (80 km)

About the same distance from Ravenna is the city Ferrara. As equal, it is under the patronage of UNESCO, from which you can immediately understand what to see there is something: medieval cathedrals, palaces and houses, the world's oldest wine bar Al Brindisi, opened in 1435, and, of course, unique kitchen. You can get from Ravenna by train, the road will take approximately an hour.

San Marino (65 km)

Ferragosto.

Holiday in honor of the end of the major agricultural work of the season. Traditionally celebrates August 15th. Ravenna and on the beaches there are live music, processions, salute and numerous celebrations. In restaurants serve the freshest food.

Safety. What to beware is worth

In general, I can say that Ravenna - the city is quite calm, there is no mafia, I can't say anything about some dangerous areas. The city is small, local residents know more and less each other, so in all parts of the city it is quite safe.

As elsewhere, in tourist places, I would advise not to walk with an open bag and not put the wallet in pocket pants. That's all:)

Things to do

Emilia-Romagna This province is quite tourist, the famous beaches and the coast of the Adriatic Sea attract people from all over the world, so there is a lot in the city and suburbs. Especially in the season. I am sure you will find something for yourself - this is also shopping, and relaxing on the beach, and traveling on a boat / ship, restaurants, bars and dancing.

Shopping and shops

Ravenna, definitely, not the main shopping center is not that Italy, but not even Emilia-Romagna, but the main stores there are there. There are no boutiques there, but the level of mass market stores can be found on tourist streets (they can be viewed on the map above). For example, Calzedonia, Intimissimi, Zara, Bottega Verde, Pandora, Sephora.

A little distance from the center you will find a shopping center Centro Commerciale Le Maioliche, where there are again the stores of the same segment. It is located at the following address: Via Bisaura, 1/3 - 48018 Faenza - Ravenna.

In early January and July my favorite time for shopping, as they are selling, and it is possible to buy things very profitably with a discount from 30% to 50%.

If you are looking for more expensive shops, I would advise you to still go to Bologna, there you can find almost everything.

Bars. Where to go

In front of dinner, usually about 18 hours, Aperitivo begins in Italian bars. You order a cocktail (traditionally it can be aperol or Campari Spritz), to which snacks serve you. Standardly chips, nuts and olives, but can also be mini bruschets. There are even bars where the Aperitivo offers a whole buffet of snacks. In the Italian bars, I go for this :) But there is something after dinner there after dinner.

Depending on the abundance of snacks, the price varies from 5 to 10 EUR, on average.

Unfortunately, there are not many bars in equestrian bars, there are more on the coast. But if you even see the Aperitivo inscription in the restaurant, boldly come and try. Only if you see the BAR sign, do not confuse, in Italy in such places are served in the morning coffee with croissants, and not at all cocktails in the evening!

I will list several good bars in Ravenna and on the coast, where you also advise to look around (they usually close about 12):

• Bagno Giada. Address: VIALE PETRARCA PEDONALE SUD;
• Fargo. Address: Vicolo Padenna;
• La Baia Dei Pirati. Address: Piazza A Saffi, 6;
• Cavour Bar. Address: Via Camillo Benso Cavour, 51.

Clubs and nightlife

Italy is difficult to find night club In our understanding. Italians love to talk too much and eat to go to discos, where it is impossible to do :)

Therefore, nightclubs in Ravenna, I would rather call disco. That is, in the evening there you can go to Aperitivo, drink cocktails and stay dancing. Of course, these places are more on the coast, where in the summer there are constantly on weekends (not in the season they are usually closed). At prices, they usually do not differ from bars: depending on the level of the establishment, the cocktail costs 5-10 EUR.

There is also a paid entrance, which is usually worth up to 10 EUR. The dress code is especially no, but it is impossible to clubs in slaps, swimsuits, dies and sneakers.

From myself interesting places, I can advise you as follows:

• FELLINI SCALINOCINQUE. Address: Piazza John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 15;
• BBK. Address: VIALE C.COLOMBO, N171;
• Bar Noi & Marilyn. Address: VIALE PETRARCA 452.

Souvenirs. What to bring as a gift

• Fresh Cappelletti and Tortellini can be found in supermarkets;
• Cheeses;
• Prosciotto;
• Olive oil.

How to move around the city

As you already understood, Ravenna - the city is very small, and this is the city of pedestrians and cyclists. In general, in the center and main areas close to it can be reached on foot. Therefore, in 90% of cases, transport you will not need.

Only if you decide to get to the coast :).

Taxi. What features exist

I'm not sure that the taxi you will need in Ravenna.

Riding 80 kilometers from the airport to Ravenna is absolutely not profitable. In my opinion, on a taxi convenient to get except to the coast. The main thing is to look for the official taxi, usually it is white machines on which tariffs are written, the counter is worth.

It always surprises me, but Uber in Italy is usually worth more than a standard taxi, therefore, in order to save it, I do not advise you to use it there.

Buses

If you want to get to the Adriatic Sea, I tell you in detail in detail, on which bus and how can it be done. A bus ticket can be purchased from drivers or in a tobacco store (look for a sign with the Tabacchina inscription). It will cost there as much. Simply always there is a chance that the driver will end the tickets, yet we are in Italy :)

Transport rental

If you are planning a further trip to Italy or just want to ride along the coast of the Adriatic Sea (and on the car it is most convenient), then in Ravenna there are offices of the main international car rental companies (Europcar, Avis, Hertz). I would advise you to use them, as they give more complete insurance. There are local companies, but they have limited hours of operation (close early and often make a break for lunch) and they usually have only one office. Therefore, to use Europcar, Avis or Hertz services more convenient, as you can take a car in Ravenna, but to pass, for example, in Bologna or Milan. You can compare prices from different rollers.

From the documents you will need international rights and credit card With enough funds, as such companies usually freeze the deposit in the amount of 1000-1500 EUR (the exact number depends on the auto model).

The liter of gasoline will cost 1.2-1.3 EUR / liter.

If you are going to Emily-Romagon in the season, I advise you to book a car on the site in advance, as there are a lot of tourists and the most inexpensive and high-quality cars quickly disassemble.

The most unexpected for me when driving in Italy is small streets. Therefore, I do not advise you to rent a large car, it is better small to pass comfortably everywhere: Fiat 500, small wolkswagen or Audi.

In Italy, it is officially allowed to sit behind the wheel after a single wine glasses or a small glass of beer. But I do not advise you anyway.

Ravenna - rest with children

To be honest, I can not say that there is a lot of activity for children in Ravenna. From what they can like can be allocated Museum of Cuppet (Museo di Bamble Ed Altri Balocchi di Ravenna). It presents a collection of Italian dolls of different times. The entrance ticket for an adult costs 4 euros, for a child - 2.5.

The museum works from Tuesday to Sunday. From May to September, it is open from 10:00 to 12:30 and from 16:00 to 19:00, and from October to April - from 10:00 to 12:30 and from 15:00 to 18:00.

Address: Via Marco Fantuzzi 4.
