A city of very plain buildings and wonderful mosaics, Ravenna is situated on the Adriatic coast of Italy south of Venice. The ground here is also soggy and some of the old buildings are sinking. Pictures #818 & #819 show a permanent stand of water in the basement of such a building. I’m sorry that my camera did not capture the glorious colors of the tiles in the mosaics. These works of art have to be seen in situ really to appreciate the work, love and worship that went into creating them.
