St. Mark's Basilica Skip-the-Line Guided Tour - T3
Don't miss out becoming an insider in Venice. On this essential guided tour, you will be intrigued by the fascinating history of La Serenissima and discover what it is like to live in this unique city. The greatness of Venice has always been reflected in the richness of St. Mark’s Basilica, the perfect synthesis of Venetian art and a unique blend of Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic elements. Five Oriental-looking domes crown the shadowy, mysterious interior gleaming with golden mosaics, coloured marbles, precious stones and pearls, and guarded by the four gilded bronze horses that stand proudly atop the central entrance. The glittering mosaics of the interior tell the story of St. Mark and episodes from the Bible.
