Our first port of call was Ravenna Italy. A smaller city, with a very calm, old center, Ravenna was the capitol of the western Roman empire in the last days of Rome, after that city had collapsed and the empire was split in two. As a result, eight beautiful religious buildings exist there today, covered in mosaic murals, and in perfect condition. We enjoyed seeing them, and strolling through the town.
We also enjoyed being in a smaller, uncroweded city and having a day that operated at a slower pace.
