BASILICA SAN MARCO

The breathtaking Byzantine basilica dominating was constructed in such ornate fashion for two reasons: as an embodiment of the Venetian Republics power and as a fitting resting place for St Mark. Serving as the doges chapel, it was the site of coronations, funerals and processions, all gloriously framed by more than 4,000 sq m (43,000 sq ft) of mosaics, eastern treasures and 500 columns, some dating back to the 3rd century.
