About: St. Mark's Basilica

An enormous monument enriched with history, art, religion, and culture – to say the least! St Mark’s Basilica is made of impeccable treasures, inside out, from the 'Pala d'Oro' behind the altar, adorned in precious stones to the four horses on the façade that symbolize strength and freedom.

The Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale in Italian) is one of La Serenissima's most iconic landmarks. The first Doge's Palace was built on this spot in the 9th century but was destroyed by fire. The Gothic palace that stands in St. Mark's Square today dates back to the 14th century. It has undergone many refurbishments and upgrades over the years. Since the 16th century, it's been linked to the New Prison by the (in)famous Bridge of Sighs.

As famous for its pigeons as it is for its history and culture, the Piazza San Marco is the unofficial capital of the watery city of Venice. With a multitude of attractions, including the towering Campanile, and transport links to the rest of the city, it's the perfect place to orient yourself, or just to take a break and observe the controlled chaos of city life.
