Ravenna

Ravenna is a city located in eastern Italy. It is the capital of the Province of Ravenna, which is located in the Emilia-Romagna region. The province borders the three largest districts of its region: Bologna to the west, Ferrara to the north, and Forlì-Cesena to the south. To the east of Ravenna is the Adriatic Sea (mare Adriatico), which is part of the Mediterranean Sea (mar Mediterraneo).

More than a thousand years ago, the city was located directly on the coast of the mare Adriatico. But over time, the waters receded, and as a result of siltation, a lowland was formed. Now Ravenna is connected to the Adriatic Sea by the Candiano Canal (Canale Candiano).

The area of ​​Ravenna is 652 km2, and the number of residents exceeds 150 thousand people. The historical center is located on 2 km2. Previously, it was surrounded by fortress walls, of which only the gates remain. And where the lines of fortifications used to stretch, now there is a boulevard ring on three sides, while on the west there is a railway.
