Saint Mark’s Basilica
St. Mark’s Basilica, together with its bell tower and the square of the same name, forms the city’s foremost architectural complex and the most famous symbol of Venice.
Absolute enormous, the Basilica has 4,000 square meters of mosaic alone! Its history, which dates back to the 9th century, is just as hard to get your mind around. But there’s no understanding Venice without understanding St. Mark’s Basilica.
The cherry on top comes as you walk outside onto the terraces themselves. From here you’ll witness the most beautiful views in all of Venice, over St Mark’s Square and past the Doge’s Palace down into the lagoon.
