Descripción
If you're in Ravenna, don't miss the opportunity to visit the Domus of the Stone, an ancient Roman residence renowned for its impressive mosaics. Are you ready to embark on a journey back in time?
Why Visit the Domus of the Stone?
Booking tickets to the Domus of the Stone (also known as Domus dei Tappeti di Pietra) grants you access to this intriguing archaeological site situated within the Church of Sant'Eufemia. Visitors can explore the various rooms at their own pace, admiring the ornate mosaic floors, true masterpieces that have survived the ages.
The Domus of the Stone, or the House of the Stone Carpets, serves as an extraordinary testament to the art of mosaics and Roman life in Ravenna. This site was discovered by chance and has been open to the public since 2002, revealing an array of exceptionally preserved mosaic floors from the 5th to 6th centuries A.D.
Your ticket provides the freedom to wander through its various rooms, showcasing the artistry of those who created these “stone carpets” with remarkable skill. The mosaics, featuring everything from geometric designs to intricate details of flora and fauna, narrate their own stories. Are you prepared to see them?
History & Art in the Church of Sant'Eufemia
Located beneath the 18th-century Church of Sant'Eufemia, this expansive underground domus is 9.84 ft (3 m) below street level and consists of 14 rooms adorned with polychromatic mosaics and marbles, part of a private Byzantine structure. The mosaics, decorated with geometric, floral, and figurative elements, are considered unique treasures!
Among its most notable features are the Danza dei Geni delle Quattro Stagioni, a captivating display of figures dancing in a circle, and the Buon Pastore, depicted in a manner distinct from the Christian interpretation of The Good Shepherd. This site will transport you to a world filled with beauty and symbolism!
