Ravenna, Italy

Capital of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century and the cradle of the Byzantine culture until the 8th century, Ravenna is celebrated worldwide for its mosaics. It houses the world's richest heritage of 5th and 6th century mosaics, superior in artistic quality and iconological importance to those of any other city. Eight of its monuments have been declared by UNESCO as patrimonies of Humanity for their supreme display of mosaic work.
