Your experience

Starting in the vibrant heart of the city, Piazza San Francesco, the tour will take you through some of the city's most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Following an expert guide fluent in English or Italian you can hear whispers of tales from a bygone era.

Spells of Byzantine magic

At the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, witness the largest New Testament cycle. 26 majestic biblical scenes introduce you to the world of mosaic art and make its evolution vividly apparent to you. The interiors of the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia with its star-studded mosaics played muse to Dante Alighieri. As you enter the Basilica of San Vitale, a 6th-century monument, a frescoed dome with the mosaic painting of an imperial couple, Justinian and Theodora, will greet you. Standing under the celestial baptism of Christ, you’ll almost hear echoes of countless baptisms held in the sacred wall of Neonian Baptistery.

The archbishop's chapel

After a deep dive into the mosaic history, your guide will leave you at the Archbishop’s Museum, where you can stroll at your own pace and tune into an informative commentary. The unique blend of Roman and Byzantine styles will echo the private prayers whispered within these walls for over 1500 years.
