Why visit Ravenna Since the beginning of the 5th century A.D. Ravenna has been the capital city three times: in the last stages of the Western Roman Empire (402-403), during the reign of the Goths of Theodoric (493-526), and finally under Byzantine rule (553-751). The magnificence of that period has left the city with a great legacy of monuments: eight buildings are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Ravenna also preserves the remains of the Father of Italian Literature Dante Alighieri and keeps his memory alive throughout the year with important events.
