A richly illustrated guide to the world's sacred places,
sacred art, religious architecture and historic religious sites.

Photos: St. Mark's Basilica, Venice

This gallery of 86 photos accompanies our article on St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Veneto, Italy. A Byzantine wonder that looks more like Istanbul than Italy, the 11th-century Basilica di San Marco is covered in golden mosaics and filled with art treasures.
