Archbishop’s Chapel, Ravenna vs Basilica of San Francesco, Ravenna
Two churches in Ravenna. Archbishop’s Chapel, Ravenna has no online ticket listed; Basilica of San Francesco, Ravenna has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
The chapel is covered by the Ravenna combined ticket, which also admits you to the Basilica of San Vitale, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, Sant'Apollinare Nuovo and the Neonian Baptistery; the five sites are sold together and there is no useful single entry. During spring and summer a small supplementary charge applies to Galla Placidia because of visitor numbers. The chapel is inside the archbishop's palace, entered through the Museo Arcivescovile, which is included.
Entry is free and the church is not part of the Ravenna combined monument ticket, which catches out visitors working through the mosaic sites. The one thing that costs money is a coin in the box beside the crypt, which switches on the light over the flooded floor; it is the best euro spent in the city. Guided tours of Dante's Ravenna include the basilica and the tomb beside it and cost a moderate amount.
