This is a modest, elegant stone tomb that draws you in with its simplicity and, of course, the poet's words. The city of Ravenna is gearing up to celebrate 700 years since his birth. The neighborhood surrounding this well-maintained monument is walkable and worth exploring.

If you are a fan of Dante Alighieri, I think you will enjoy this quiet beautiful place and monument to the Supreme Poet. It’s right on the left side of the Basilica di San Francesco if you are facing it. Across it is also a tiny park kind of area where you can find some modern artworks dedicated to Dante. Definitely worth a visit. Wonderful place.

This building was built in 1780 in neoclassical style
It is a national monument within an area called the Dante area
Dante lived his last years in the Romagna city before he died and inside the small mausoleum his bones are placed
Nothing striking, two photos and away we go

Dante Alighieri is probably the major Italian poet, and his tomb has a big historical significance, and it is a National Monument. However, the current tomb is not much to see: it was built in 1780-1781 above the former 15th century structure, and it is quite simple.
Next to Dante's tomb is the quadrarch of Braccioforte (strong arm) is an oasis of peace. Several marble sarcophagi from the 5th-6th century and later reused.
Two cloisters are also nearby, called the Franciscan cloisters, also very peaceful and beautiful.

In the area of the convent of San Francisco the monks discovered the tomb of Dante Alighieri. A small memorial chapel was built and the remains were placed there. The mound where they hid in the years 1944-45 is also marked so that they would not be looted.

Temple in sober and elegant neoclassical style covered with marble, a few meters from the Basilica San Francesco. It preserves the tomb with the bones of Dante in front of which there is a bronze and silver garland donated by the army in the First World War. The bas-relief is the work of Pietro Lombardo. You cannot enter, you can only admire it from the outside.
Another point in our 1-day itinerary in Ravenna.

You're in Ravenna, you've finished the "mosaic tour", you've even taken a jelly bean, what does, you're not going to say hello to the "great poet"?
Easy to find Dante's Tomb is nothing but a tiny chapel with something where, it is said, the vagabonds should be (as moved many times in the past) remains of the exiled being.
Free as a visit (nullò!) and also fast: a few minutes is enough and advances.
So... why not?

What can I say... the Great Poet always leaves you shivering III! Characteristic museum with sensory journey through the 3 kingdoms of the Divine Comedy... tomb and well-kept gardens adjacent to the church of San Francesco. Absolutely worth doing!

Of course you visit Dantes Tomb when in Ravenna yet it is not a very special one. Building surrounding makes visiting this Tomb a must.
