The ancient churches of Ravenna
1 -3 Basilica of San Giovanni Evangelista
4 & 5 San Apollinare Nuovo. This has some of the best mosaics
6 Base of the tower in 4
7 & 8 Santa Maria Maggiore
9 San Giovanni Battista, with a rather incongruous later Baroque facade |
You seem to have an endless supply of pictures, very impressive.The towers are an impressive set of constructions.
