Description

Basilica, Museum and Horses of Saint Mark

The visit starts by entering by the Porta San Pietro (St. Peter's Door) ('Skip the Line' entrance) and passing under the splendid Dome of Genesis, where you enter the lower part of St. Mark's Basilica (* Pala d'Oro not included). On entering the church, we are almost overwhelmed by the majesty of the golden mosaics and typical Byzantine art forms that are revealed at first sight. Continuing with the itinerary, you will walk up the impressive Foresti staircase, and enter the Museum. Here you can more closely admire the mosaics, sumptuous Flemish and Medici tapestries, altar frontals, Persian rugs, and the triumphal Quadriga or four-horse carriage used for chariot racing. This visit ends when leaving the Horses Loggia, where you will be greeted by the enchanting view of St. Mark's Square.
