Basilica di San Marco

The basilica was founded in the ninth century, as a shrine for the relics of St Mark, whose body was smuggled from Alexandria in a barrel of salted pork. Formerly a private chapel of the Doges, the church was completely rebuilt in the 11th century, following a fire. To see how the church appeared in 1260, visitors should take a look at the mosaic over the left portal, one of the oldest surviving mosaics on the façade. The interior, lit by the expanse of golden mosaics, houses many of Venice’s greatest treasures.
