St. Mark's Basilica Overview

  • The interior of the basilica is a stunning example of Byzantine art and architecture, with its shimmering mosaics, golden altars, and intricate marble carvings

  • Don’t miss the 24-carat gold leaf mosaics that cover more than 4,000 m2 – including mosaic designs from Titian and Tintoretto

  • Discover the Pala d’Oro, or the ‘Golden Altarpiece,’ a Gothic work replete with 3,000 precious stones and delicate enamel plates

You do not skip the line as you do with the same package at Doges palace. You have to wander around the side streets to find a ticket office that validates your ticket. Could be done online.

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.
