The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia is a Late Antique Roman building in Ravenna, Italy, built between 425 and 450.[1] It was added to the World Heritage List together with seven other structures in Ravenna in 1996.[2] Despite its common name, the empress Galla Placidia (d. 450) was not buried in the building, a misconception dating from the thirteenth century;[3] she died in Rome and was buried there,[4] probably alongside Honorius in the Mausoleum of Honorius at Old Saint Peter's Basilica.[5]
