Which Byzantine church in Ravenna is known for its surviving procession of virgins?

The Basilica of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna is known for its surviving procession of virgins.

The mosaic procession occupies the lower register of one long nave wall. The virgins move from the port city of Classe toward the enthroned Virgin and Child, accompanied by angels. On the opposite wall, male martyrs approach Christ.

The mosaics were created in stages and altered after the church changed from an Arian palace chapel to a Catholic church. Earlier imagery connected with Theodoric’s court was replaced or modified, while parts of the architectural background remain visible.

The church’s name can cause confusion with Sant’Apollinare in Classe, another Ravenna basilica. Sant’Apollinare Nuovo is inside the historic city, whereas Sant’Apollinare in Classe lies outside the ancient urban center.
