Sant'Apollinare in Classe

South of Ravenna, on the road to Rimini, stands the fine church of Sant' Apollinare in Classe, the only preserved building of the town of Classis, with a porch and a round campanile. The church, begun about 535 on a site just outside the ancient port of Classis, was consecrated in 549; it was restored in 1779 and freed from encroaching buildings in 1904.

Near the church are excavations (Zona Archeologica di Classe).

5km/3mi southeast of Sant'Apollinare are the remains of the Pineta di Classe, a once famous pinewood which has been much reduced by felling and fire. A short way to the west is "Mirabilandia", opened in 1992, the largest leisure park in Italy, with over 30 attractions.
