The original cathedral was built during the early 5th century by the bishop Ursus of Ravenna and was originally called the Basilica Ursiana.[4] During the Battle of Ravenna in April 1512, the basilica was sacked. In the 18th century, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style.[5] The cathedral houses the sarcophagi of Maximianus of Ravenna, Exuperantius of Ravenna, and Barbatianus of Ravenna and once housed the Throne of Maximian.[6]
On the top of the belltower there are four bells in chord of D minor.[citation needed]
