Ravenna originated around 500 BC as part of the lagoon territory washed by the sea and the sweet water of the Po Delta. It was initially populated by Umbri, Etruscans and Gauls. Ravenna came under the Roman influence during the construction of the Via Emilia in the 2nd century BC. The origin of the city’s name is unclear, but some have speculated that Ravenna is related to “Rasenna,” the term that the Etruscans used for themselves, but there is no agreement on this point. Ravenna is connected to the Adriatic Sea by the Candiano Canal and is known for its well-preserved late Roman and Byzantine architecture, with eight buildings comprising the UNESCO World Heritage Site, “Early Christian Monuments of Ravenna”. Some top sights in Ravenna include; Mirabilandia, Mausoleo di Galla Placidia, Basilica di San Vitale. Teodorico Mausoleum, Basilica di Sant’Apollinare, Basilica di Sant’Apollinare in Classe, and others.
