At the appointed time, we will meet our local guide at 1256 Calle Larga Ascensione to head to the famous St. Mark's Basilica, one of the masterpieces of Byzantine art known as the Golden Basilica.
During the visit, we will be able to admire and contemplate the beautiful gold mosaics and marble inlaid pavement, sitting comfortably while our guide shows us and explains the meaning and beauty of the biblical scenes, the history and peculiarities of this ancient basilica.
We will admire the Golden Spade, an exquisite example of Byzantine art with its thousands of gems and precious stones. We will enjoy the view of the Treasury, a splendor of religious art collected over the centuries.
Greca Tip: Originally conceived with a Greek cross plan and a dome over the transept and the arms (five domes), the church was burned in a riot in 975 and rebuilt in the 11th century by architects and workers from Constantinople.
