Another undisputed symbols of Venice is the St Mark Basilica, a beautiful example of Byzantine architecture where Eastern and Western architecture run into each other. Here, you will learn more about the everlasting history of Venice, about St Mark and how his remains came to rest and be shielded here. Surrounded by the Basilica’s beautiful gold mosaics and marble inlays, your professional guide will take you along the history and the special features of this unique masterpiece.
