Ravenna Virtual Tour – the Capital of Mosaics

REGISTRATION REQUIRED! Click here to register

Join us for a virtual journey dedicated entirely to the breathtaking mosaics of Ravenna, one of the most extraordinary artistic treasures in the world.
Through a rich sequence of slides, you’ll explore the brilliance of Byzantine art — gold, blue, and emerald tesserae that still sparkle after fifteen centuries. We’ll visit the city’s most iconic monuments, including the Basilica of San Vitale, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, and the Basilica of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, discovering how each mosaic tells a story of faith, beauty, and imperial power.
You’ll learn how these masterpieces were created, the materials and techniques used by ancient craftsmen, and the profound symbolism behind every gesture, color, and light reflection. Each scene — from the majestic figures of Justinian and Theodora to the celestial gardens and starry domes — reveals a universe of meaning that still fascinates historians and travelers today.
Don’t miss this NEW virtual journey and discover why the mosaics of Ravenna remain among the most extraordinary creations of the ancient world.
