Aerial view of Ravenna and its port Classis. The drawing is in landscape format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The port and town are located on the banks of the River Po and the Adriatic Sea. The town is surrounded by a wall, punctuated by towers and pierced by gates. A porticoed street runs through the town, leading to the port. Boats are moored to the quays, not far from the warehouses. Two lighthouses mark the river mouth. The city of Ravenna grows a little further out across the lagoon. The Alps rise in the distance.
