Basilica San Marco Venice
Stunningly lit by night lights, the Basilica San Marco is a superb example of 11th century architecture.
The current building is the third to be built at this location. The
first was built in the 9th century to enshrine the body of St Mark but
was destroyed by fire. Design and construction of the current basilica
began around 1063 and continued over the following centuries.
The Basilica San Marco which adjoins Doge's Palace in Piazza San
Marco, is crowned with 5 large domes and adorned with elaborate carvings
and statues.
