    Basilica di San Giusto

    The Basilica di San Giusto, completed in 1400, is the synthesis of two earlier Christian basilicas in a blend of the Ravenna and Byzantine styles. The interior contains 13th-century frescoes and a mosaic from the same period depicting St Justus, the town’s patron saint. The Virgin and Child and the Apostles appear on another wonderfully preserved 12th-century mosaic.
