Mosaic art remains the flagship of local craftsmanship today, practised in numerous workshops and even taught in schools. Together with your local guide, you admire the Basilica di San Vitale with its magnificent, well-preserved Byzantine mosaics from the 6th century, and the Basilica Sant'Apollinare in Classe, renowned for its impressive apse mosaic.
