Come tutte le chiese di Ravenna, dei periodi imperiale (fino al 402-476), ostrogotico (fino al 476-540) e giustinianeo (dal 540-565 in poi), anche Sant'Apollinare Nuovo è decorata con meravigliosi e coloratissimi mosaici. Tuttavia essi non risalgono alla stessa epoca: alcuni sono teodoriciani, altri risalgono alla ridecorazione voluta dal vescovo Agnello, quando l'edificio venne riconsacrato al culto cristiano cattolico.

Like all the churches in Ravenna, from the imperial (up to 402-476), Ostrogothic (up to 476-540) and Justinian (from 540-565 onwards) periods, also Sant'Apollinare Nuovo is decorated with wonderful and colourful mosaics. However, they do not date back to the same period: some are Theodorician, others date back to the redecoration wanted by Bishop Agnello, when the building was re-consecrated to Catholic Christian worship.

In different times they have been a bit changed, but the first time in the Vth century. How long will last what we now build?
