Additional information

The building of St. Mark’s Basilica began in 1063 when the remains of St. Mark the Evangelist were brought to Venice from Alexandria, Egypt. The basilica was constructed to house these sacred relics and served as the official chapel of the Doge, the ruler of the Venetian Republic.

The exterior of the basilica features a mixture of Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic architectural styles, with a multitude of domes and spires, intricate carvings, and colorful mosaics. Inside, the basilica is filled with breathtaking mosaics covering the walls, ceilings, and domes.

Some of the most notable features of St. Mark’s Basilica include the Pala d’Oro, an altarpiece adorned with over 1,900 precious stones and jewels, and the famous bronze horses on the facade, which were looted from Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade.

Visitors can also climb to the top of the basilica’s bell tower, the Campanile di San Marco, for stunning panoramic views of Venice and the surrounding lagoon.
