    The construction of the original basilica was started in the year 828 and finished in the year 832, to house supposed relics of Saint Mark the Evangelist stolen from Alexandria. This fact was essential for Venice to establish itself as an independent episcopal see, since until then it had been subordinate to the bishoprics of Grado and Aquileia.

      St. Mark's Basilica is possibly the most beautiful monument you will find on your trip to Venice.

      Located in the splendid St. Mark's Square, its five enormous domes and its mix of Western and Eastern styles make it appear to visitors to be an impressive monument.

        I recommend to visit the museum and to visit from above the basilica costs only 5 € entrance and you have a very nice view over the St. Mark's Square
