Ravenna
Located in Italy’s
North-East, the historically significant
and art-treasure haven of Ravenna is still
a popular mecca for visitors enthralled
by its centuries-old mosaics in particular.
The second largest commune
(or township) in Italy, Ravenna is based
in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and
whilst not quite coastal is near the Adriatic
Sea and is linked by a canal to the sea
itself.
Ravenna was once the seat
of the Roman Empire itself in its latter
days and nowadays hosts the best preserved
and finest mosaics in Italy from the Byzantine
era of the 5th and 6th centuries.
As a perfectly situated hotel
in historic Ravenna, The
Hotel Diana offers guests a fantastic starting
point from which to explore the Ravenna
mosaics.
It’s proximity to
the city centre and attractions yet peaceful
and quiet location bring the perfect mix
to a recipe for a comfortable and relaxing
stay at this accommodation
near all the Ravenna world heritage
sites.

Ravenna
city centre is almost pedestrianised these days and
is easy to get around. In addition to its 8 UNESCO World
Heritage Sites, Ravenna also boasts
many museums and events and, being from the 5th-8th
centuries the capital of the Western Roman Empire,
many Roman sites sure to fire up the imaginations of
even the most amateur of roving historians.
