STUNNING INTERIOR OF ST. MARK'S BASILICA: CHURCH OF GOLD!
When you first see the stunning interior of St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), you are in awe of the eight centuries of golden mosaics. In fact, there are over 85,000 square feet of mosaics. When you look up, you will see the five main cupolas or domes which are also richly decorated with these religious mosaics, but when you look down, you will also see the beautiful intricate marble inlaid floor. When you visit the St. Mark's Basilica Treasury (8:20), you will find hundreds of gold and silver relics, mostly taken from Constantinople in 1204 after the Fourth Crusade. After we take a tour of the inside, we will also see the magnificent exterior of the basilica (14:24), and learn about it's history as well. No visit to Venice, Italy is complete without visiting St. Mark's Basilica!

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video-the Basilica is a must-see when you go to Venice.
I can't help but think what would the original mosaics in Hagia Sophia would have looked like......
I just came across your video. Very well done. I’m preparing for a trip to Venice right now and was hoping to get some great shots in the basilica. Did you have to get special permission to film inside? How did you get such great footage?

I don't know what the rules are now, but let's just say that if you film or take photos, make sure no security guards or church employees are watching you.

Or you can stand behind a pillar, where it's harder for anyone to see you.

You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. It really was quite an incredible place to see.
The only way to fully grasp the beauty of the Basilica is to attend the sunday mass with the choir and all the lights switched on! That is quite an experience!

I'm sure it is-must have been amazing.
The cathedral is a work of art..although i do harbor issues with the exterior...just...maybe too much? But the interior... almost purely Byzantine and we have an echo of how those great Eastern Roman cathedrals that it is modelled on once looked. Great video!

Thank you! The interior of St. Mark's Basilica is truly a must-visit in Venice. Didn't do it during my 1996 Venice visit, but glad I did it this time around.

Every single stone stolen from Constantinople tough
Rood screen not rod screen
Saint Marks body is that of Alexander The Great...
People starving ALLLLLL over the word & this is the best we can do smh
At least you can give a glimpse at medieval constantinople, in that church, since almost everything is stolen from there by the Venetians. And medieval constantinople is not there anymore, since Venetians and after ottoman turks, destroyed it.
Church of thieves
Stolen gold. Byzantine.
