Archbishop’s Chapel of St. Andrew
This museum preserves precious artifacts, including an ivory throne, and features a beautiful private chapel with mosaics. The Archbishop’s Chapel of St. Andrew, located in Ravenna, Italy, is a remarkable example of early Christian architecture and art. Constructed around the turn of the 6th century under the patronage of Archbishop Peter II, it served as a private oratory for the bishops of Ravenna.
Originally dedicated to Christ, the chapel was later rededicated to St. Andrew, with his relics brought from Constantinople to Ravenna around the mid-6th century. The chapel is renowned for its exquisite mosaics that adorn the vaults, showcasing intricate designs and religious iconography. The lower walls are lined with marble slabs, adding to the chapel’s understated elegance. As the smallest of Ravenna’s mosaic sites, it offers a unique and intimate experience for visitors.
