Gospel narratives, the Passion of Christ, and whimsical scenes from provincial life - the Basilica of San Apollinare Nuovo is literally woven from a multitude of mosaic elements capable of striking the imagination and inducing a peculiarly spiritual mindset. The building's walls are adorned with numerous paired windows and pilasters, while the facade is complemented by a marble portico that attracts the wandering gaze as if by a magnet. The tall brick bell tower has a traditional cylindrical shape, but stands out strikingly against the overall backdrop. Regulars of San Apollinare Nuovo include both tourists and local residents who love to linger by the sculptures of the cross, the regal peacock, and the supple grapevine.

3 vagy 5 hely látogatható 1 jeggyel és ez a templom is benne van. Belépve a jobb oldalon fent oszlopok közötti függönyös mozaik képek vannak, némelyik oszlopnál kis kezek is látszanak. A kazettás tető is gyönyörű. A kijárat az udvari kerengő felé van, ahol kellemes szél fogad. A kerengő hátsó végében ingyenes mosdó található.
