Dante's significance in the history of Western writing can hardly be overstated, and it is totally worth it to go pay your respects. It is a short trip and you will likely stumble upon him by accident on your way to one of the restaurants or mosaics. It is worth seeing the final resting place of Italy's greatest poet.. Ravenna...

Dante's tomb and the church that houses it is ok. I wouldn't go way out of my way to see it. Entry to the church is free, but the interior of the church is average by Italian standards. There's a small garden that tributes the late writer but the actual tomb is outside of the church and accessible from the... More

Dante's tomb is worth a visit. Just so you can say you saw it. Ravenna is surprising and has many unexpected treasures. This is one. More

I was expecting something monumental, as the Pantheon of Rome for the number one Italian poet! just a simple chapel, some 10 square meters wide, with a white sarcofague. More
