The Archdiocese of Ravenna-Cervia (Latin: Archidioecesis Ravennatensis-Cerviensis) is an archdiocese of the Catholic Church. It is a metropolitan see of the Latin Church, located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.[1]
The cathedral of the archdiocese is the Cathedral Basilica of the Resurrection of Our Lord in Ravenna. There is a co-cathedral in Cervia, the Concattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta ('co‑cathedral of the Assumption of Santa Maria'), which had formerly been the Cervia Cathedral.[2][3]
