Western Facade and Campanile of Basilica St Apollinaris in Classe near Ravenna

The large Byzantine basilica follows the typical layout of a central nave with two side aisles and no transepts. The nartyx portal in front of the church is a later addition. The round Romanesque campanile, added in the 10th century, remains the tallest church bell tower in the Ravenna region.
