This is the oldest building in Ravenna. It was begun around 400 as the baptistry of the Ravenna Duomo, which no longer exists. The central part of the cupola mosaic was built by Bishop Neon (hence the name!) around 490. Parts were clumsily restored in the 19th cent. Dome of the Battisterio. Photo RWFG
