Original Text

St. Mark's Cathedral is a landmark building in Venice, located in St. Mark's Square, built by Venetian merchants in 829 AD to transport St. Mark (the author of the Gospel of Mark) back to Venice. The entire church adopts Byzantine architectural style, combining the essence of East and West architecture. The interior is decorated with many Byzantine-style mosaic decoration paintings, and below the altar of the church is the tomb of St. Mark. Visiting the church is free, and you have to pay to visit the museum, corridor and gold altar. This building is a Byzantine-style masterpiece. It is characterized by the structure of the Greek cross and the five large mosaic domes on the outside. On its front there is a replica of one of the four horses of St. Mark (the authentic is a gold-plated bronze statue, displayed in the St. Mark's Museum). At the top of the bell tower you can enjoy stunning views of the entire city and lagoon.

St. Mark's Basilica in Venice is an architectural marvel, boasting intricate Byzantine design and stunning mosaics. Its rich history, dating back over a millennium, offers visitors a glimpse into Venice's cultural heritage. However, crowds can detract from the serene atmosphere.

There was confusion with the online instructions and an almost impossible to find address to redeem your voucher for your ticket...instructions stated you had to go to a different place first before the meeting spot when in fact both places were the same. We wasted a lot of time trying to find it and it turned out completely unnecessary.However, I would still recommend this tour. It was great to have access after hours. Such an incredible place to tour!
