THE PULSING HEART OF THE CITY: ST.MARK’S CATHEDRAL AND THE DOGE’S PALACE
An essential visit for those who want to understand the millennial history of the Republic of Venice.
In the ducal palace the works of some of the greatest artists of the Venetian Renaissance, such as Jacopo Tintoretto and Paolo Veronese represent and celebrate events and institutions of this state absolutely unique in the Italian and European panorama.
The basilica of San Marco was the Palatine chapel, built from the 9th century to house the body of the evangelist Mark. The cycles of his mosaics testify to the faith of the Republic and the veneration of its tutelary saint.
For those who want more: THE SECRET ITINERARIES, with compulsory reservation, will reveal instead the places of administrative and judicial life, hidden from public view, and the Piombi, the prisons made famous by the escape of Giacomo Casanova and the detention of Silvio Pellico.
Extra costs: entrance to the Doge's Palace.
For groups it is necessary to book "radio guides", which allow all customers to be able to follow the explanations without difficulty.
