A total of eight Ravennese buildings were declared World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.

Furthermore, there are monumental tombs and mausoleums to be found including the final resting places of regent Galla Placidia and legendary writer Dante Aligheri. Ravenna's clash of styles, Byzantine imprint and playful baroque buildings make for fun extended discovery trips through this fascinating, rich-in-history city.
