Eight early Christian buildings of Ravenna are inscribed on the [[World Heritage List]]. These are
* [[Baptistery of Neon|Orthodox Baptistery]] also called ''Baptistery of Neon'' ({{circa|430}})
* [[Mausoleum of Galla Placidia]] ({{circa|430}})
* [[Arian Baptistery]] ({{circa|500}})
* [[Archbishop's Chapel, Ravenna|Archiepiscopal Chapel]] ({{circa|500}})
* [[Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo]] ({{circa|500}})
* [[Mausoleum of Theodoric]] (520)
* [[Basilica of San Vitale]] (548)
* [[Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe]] (549)

Other historic sites include:
* The church of [[San Giovanni Evangelista, Ravenna|San Giovanni Evangelista]] is from the 5th century, erected by [[Galla Placidia]] after she survived a storm at sea. It was restored after the World War II bombings. The bell tower contains four bells, the two majors dating back to 1208.
* The 6th-century church of the ''Spirito Santo'', which has been quite drastically altered since the 6th century. It was originally the Arian cathedral. The façade has a 16th-century portico with five arcades.
* The [[Basilica of San Francesco, Ravenna|Basilica of San Francesco]], rebuilt in the 10th–11th centuries over a precedent edifice dedicated to the Apostles and later to St. Peter. Behind the humble brick façade, it has a nave and two aisles. Fragments of mosaics from the first church are visible on the floor, which is usually covered by water after heavy rains (together with the crypt). Here the funeral ceremony of [[Dante Alighieri]] was held in 1321. The poet is buried in a tomb annexed to the church, the local authorities having resisted for centuries all demands by Florence for the return of the remains of its most famous exile.
* The [[Baroque]] church of ''Santa Maria Maggiore'' (525–532, rebuilt in 1671). It houses a picture by [[Luca Longhi]].
* The church of [[San Giovanni Battista, Ravenna|San Giovanni Battista]] (1683), also in Baroque style, with a Middle Ages campanile.
* The basilica of [[Santa Maria in Porto Basilica|Santa Maria in Porto]] (16th century), with a rich façade from the 18th century. It has a nave and two aisles, with a high [[cupola]]. It houses the image of famous ''Greek Madonna'', which was allegedly brought to Ravenna from Constantinople.
* The nearby Communal Gallery has various works from Romagnoli painters.
* The ''Rocca Brancaleone'' (Brancaleone Castle), built by the [[Republic of Venice|Venetians]] in 1457. Once part of the city walls, it is now a public park. It is divided into two parts: the true Castle and the Citadel, the latter having an extent of {{convert|14000|m²|2|abbr=on}}.
* The "so-called Palace of Theodoric", in fact the entrance to the former church of [[Holy Saviour|San Salvatore]]. It includes mosaics from the [[Palace of Theodoric|true palace]] of the Ostrogoth king.
* The church of ''[[Sant'Eufemia, Ravenna|Sant'Eufemia]]'' (18th century), gives access to the so-called Stone Carpets Domus (6th–7th century): this houses splendid mosaics from a Byzantine palace.
* The National Museum
* The [[Archiepiscopal Museum, Ravenna|Archiepiscopal Museum]]
* The [[Capanno Garibaldi]], a [[hunting cabin]] on the road to {{Ill|Porto Corsini|it|}} known for having sheltered [[Giuseppe Garibaldi]] on the night of 6–7 August 1849<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=21 May 2022 |title=La storia del capanno Garibaldi, in vetrina al Private Banking foto d'epoca e dipinti |trans-title=The history of the Garibaldi hut on display at Private Banking: Vintage photos and paintings |url=https://www.ilrestodelcarlino.it/ravenna/cronaca/la-storia-del-capanno-garibaldi-in-vetrina-al-private-banking-foto-depoca-e-dipinti-5951ef7a |access-date=4 April 2024 |website=[[Il Resto del Carlino]] |language=it}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=20 May 2022 |title=Al "Private Banking" de La Cassa di Ravenna una nuova mostra dedicata al Capanno Garibaldi |trans-title=At the “Private Banking” of La Cassa di Ravenna, a new exhibition dedicated to the Capanno Garibaldi |url=https://www.ravennanotizie.it/cultura-spettacolo/2022/05/20/al-private-banking-de-la-cassa-di-ravenna-una-nuova-mostra-dedicata-a-il-capanno-garibaldi/ |access-date=4 April 2024 |website=ravennanotizie.it |language=it |archive-date=4 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220704134405/https://www.ravennanotizie.it/cultura-spettacolo/2022/05/20/al-private-banking-de-la-cassa-di-ravenna-una-nuova-mostra-dedicata-a-il-capanno-garibaldi/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
