Answer:
The photo shows the Basilica of San Vitale that is in Ravenna, Italy.
Explanation:
The site is important as one of the famous examples of Byzantine architecture and art. What is notable about the design and architecture is that it <u>combines Roman elements with the Byzantine ones.</u> The dome above the square central, the towers, and the shape of the doorway are influenced by the Roman style, which is probably because the construction started very early – <u>somewhere around 526.</u>
Basilica's mosaics are her famous feature. They are inspired largely by the events from the Bible, heavily ornamented, but also include famous descriptions of emperor <u>Justinian </u>and his wife, Empress <u>Theodora</u>. One of Justinian’s courtiers' on the mosaic is Julius Argentarius, the donor of the church.
<u>The frescoes on the dome were added in the 16th century, by painters Barozzi, Gandolfi, and Guarana.</u>
The basilica is proclaimed to be UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996.
