Cheap Hotels near Basilica di San Marco a Venezia (Saint Mark's Basilica) Venice
Of all of Venice’s many attractions; the most spectacular is undoubtedly the stunning St Mark’s Basilica. Situated on Piazza San Marco, it is Venice’s most famous church and one of the world’s finest examples of Byzantine architecture. Originally the personal chapel of the Doge, St Mark’s has been a Catholic cathedral since 1807. The enormous cathedral is as impressive from the outside as it is on the inside and its opulence was seen as symbolizing the city’s wealth and power. Perhaps its most impressive feature is its stunning gilded mosaics. Also of note are the famous four horses which greet visitors entering the cathedral. The originals were taken by Napoleon to Paris to later be reclaimed and are now housed in the cathedral museum, but replicas of the originals still greet visitors to this most stunning of churches.
