There is no other place like this. You just need to see it one ... Read more

Why Ravenna Is Fascinating?

This was my second time in Ravenna and I would go there again, if I had an opportunity. Although this is not a top 5 or even 10 tourist destination this town is still relatively full of tourists. Why? Because it is fascinating. I see at least one big reason for that: ART. The transition If you’re interested in history of European art, at least a bit, it is very likely you studied it one style after another, chronologically. ... Read more
