basilica di san francesco, ravenna印象
-
Well worth a visit to see all that it has to offer. One of many churches worth visiting in Ravenna. Very close to Dante tomb and museum.
-
Da visitare, oltre che per i mosaici, per la bella cripta in cui nuotano tranquilli dei pesciolini rossi!

Visited here as we were in the area anyway. Nice little church. There are some stairs leading to a window which overlooks the crypt. It was quite dark, but with the flash of your camera you can see underwater mosaics and large goldfish. Next to the opening is a slot in which to deposit a €1 coin. This lights up the crypt. Unfortunately the couple in front of us insisted in staying at the window until the lights went off - making sure no-one else got the benefit of their coin!! This resulted in a massive queue behind us!!

This church has at the front stairs that if you walk down and deposit Euro1 it lights up the lower level to view mosaics that are under water. There are gold fish swimming. I didn't even know until the light went off and saw a tour guie deposit another Euro. Very interesting.
-
The outside of the church is very impressive and it appears to be in good shape. The really interesting thing to see is how the original floor of the church is now under water. Some of the old floor is still visible and a hint of what the old mosaics were like can be glimpsed.

This basilica would be pretty, but no so much so in comparison to the other beautiful wonders in Ravenna. The sunken crypt is, however, interesting. And, yes, worth paying a euro to light up the situation. Most disappointing was the outside courtyard and common area in front. It was strewn with trash and graffiti on walls of neighboring buildings. The outside area was sad. Our guide apologized when she noted I was surprised at how the area looked and she said they have tried to work with officials to clean up the area.

Due to changing water levels, it is now under water with gold gush swimming around. Drop a euro in the box and the lights go on so you can see it. Reminds me of the cisterns in Istanbul.
-
You might think it tacky, but there is an illuminated and animated nativity scene towards the front of the church that is probably better value than paying to see a pool of water. It lasts over 5 minutes. It is technologically quaint, but engaging. Why not spend your euro on that?

After the magnificence of the World Heritage Sites this church gives one the chance to reflect. A supply of Euro coins to take in the submerged mosaics and gold fish in the flooded crypt

The Basilica de San Francesco is more a curiosity than anything else. The interior of the church is rather simple and the real reason to go is to see the unusual, permanently-flooded sunken crypt. Put a Euro in to light it up and you will see large goldfish swimming around the columns with an interesting mosaic floor underneath the water. It all has a greenish tint and an eerie glow, until the lights go out. Worth a visit if you have time.
