Located adjacent to the north side of the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy, this building is said to be the tomb of Galla Placidia, wife of Western Roman Emperor Constantius III. It is a Byzantine building of simple composition, made of brick with a cruciform plan, a central dome and vaults on the four wings. The interior is magnificently decorated with beautiful mosaics in dark blue tones, and the largest of three sarcophagi from the 5th to 6th centuries is said to be the queen's coffin, but this has not been verified. It was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996 as one of the "Early Christian Buildings of Ravenna."
