Ravenna is waiting for you this Christmas season for a journey through the wonders of ancient and contemporary mosaics.
Experience the "Capital of Mosaic" illuminated not only by the golden lights of its mosaics but also by festive decorations and the charming Christmas huts that fill Piazza del Popolo during the holiday season.
This unmissable experience combines a guided tour of five of Ravenna's eight UNESCO sites with a hands-on mosaic workshop. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the art of mosaic-making, creating your own piece while learning techniques rooted in ancient tradition.
Join us for this magical journey through time and art, and discover Ravenna from a whole new perspective.
