In Ravenna, the world capital of mosaic, the renowned guided tour Mosaic Tiles returns, offering the chance to explore the extraordinary early Christian and Byzantine art treasures recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage.

Guided by certified experts, visitors can uncover the secrets of the ancient techniques of master mosaicists and the deep symbolic meaning of the imperial and sacred decorations.
