St. Mark's Cathedral and its Treasures (Skip The Guided Tour)

An original St Mark’s Venice tour to discover the most famous works of art of the Basilica in an exclusive guided visit of the religious symbol building of Venice! Thanks to the small number of participants expected from our guided tour of San Marco in Venice, you can enjoy an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Take your time to admire the masterpieces preserved within this century-old building and enjoy the experience of our guides to learn about all the details of this extraordinary cathedral! You will enjoy the convenient skip-the-line service, included in the reservation of our San Marco Venice visit, to enter the building and avoid the long waiting times usually expected at the entrance of St. Mark's Basilica: the guide will lead you along an exclusive itinerary to discover the magnificent treasures of St. Mark's Cathedral. St Mark’s Cathedral and its Treasures will make you feel privileged from the beginning of our St Mark's Basilica tour: seated at the centre of the Basilica, you will listen to the thousand-year history of the building, the stages of its construction and its rise from a simple church for the Dog’s Palace to Venice cathedral. After the historical introduction of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, the tour will continue with a visit to St Mark’s Baptistery and the Zen Chapel in Venice, two little-known beautiful places. St Mark’s Baptistery in Venice is decorated with fourteenth-century mosaics depicting stories of the Baptist and childhood of Christ; at the center of the baptistery, you can admire the beautiful baptismal font and the tombstone of Jacopo Sansovino, and one of the finest examples of Gothic sculpture in Venice: the tomb of Andrea Dandolo.
