Ravenna is a city in northeastern Italy, in the region of Emilia-Romagna. It is connected to the Adriatic Sea by a navigable canal. 
Ravenna was the capital of the Western Roman Empire (5th century) and later of the Ostrogothic state and the Byzantine possessions in Italy. After the conquests of Pippin the Short, Ravenna and its environs passed to the Frankish state, and then, together with the Roman region, were presented to the Pope, giving rise to the Papal State. 
The most interesting to visit in Ravenna are: the Basilica of San Vitale with its mosaics; The Baptistery of Neon and the Arian Baptistery; The Archiepiscopal Museum; Dante's tomb; The Basilica of Sant' Apollinare in Classe and etc.
