Ravenna - Sant’Apollinare Nuovo


The Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo was built by Ostrogoth King Theodoric the Great as his palace chapel. The Arian church was originally dedicated in 504 AD to "Christ the Redeemer".
After Byzantine troops had conquered Ravenna the basilica was converted into a Catholic church and reconsecrated in 561 AD. It was now dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours, a foe of Arianism.
The dedication was changed again in the 9th century to St. Apollinare, first bishop of Ravenna, when the saint's relics were moved here.
The interior measures 35 x 21 meters. There are 24 marble columns from Constantinople. The present floor level more than 1 meter higher than it was originally.
The walls of the nave and clerestory are covered mosaics from the 6th century. Some of them date from the Arian period under King Theodoric the Great (496-526).
The apse originally covered in mosaics like the walls, but these were removed during 16th century renovations. The present apse is a reconstruction after being damaged during World War I.
