Basilica of San Marcos

The Basilica of San Marcos is one of the emblems of the city and another of the places to visit in Venice. Built in 828 to house the relics of San Marcos, this religious temple is the most important in the city and is located on one of the extremes of San Marcos Square. Considered a masterpiece of the Byzantine style, in this impressive church, stands out the golden and magnificent mosaics of the 13th century dome. It is also worth going up to the upper floor to enter a small museum where there are the originals of the Horses of San Marcos, some bronze statues that were stolen from the Hipodrome of Constantinople. From this area you can access the church terrace where the copies of the horses are located and from where you can enjoy excellent views of the Plaza de San Marcos. Remember that this outer point is the only place where you can take pictures of the whole basilica and you can't go in with a backpack. A good place to leave it for free is in the slogan of San Basso, located in an alley on the left side of the basilica
