Markuskyrkja

Markuskyrkja (italiensk Basilica Cattedrale Patriarcale di San Marco) er den katolske domkyrkja i Venezia. Ho ligg ved austsida av Markusplassen, ved sida av Dogepalasset, og er eit av kjennemerka for Venezia. Kyrkja er eit godt eksempel på italo-bysantinsk arkitektur. Kyrkja var opphavleg bygd som kapell for dogen av Venezia, og blei først domkyrkje for byen i 1807, då ho blei sete for patriarken av Venezia.

Den noverande Markuskyrkja er ein basilika bygd i tidsrommet 1060-1100, med ei rekkje seinare tillegg. Hovudfasaden har ei ornamentert takline i hovudsakleg gotisk stil. Inne er kyrkja dekorert i gull-mosaikkar som det tok hundreår å fullføra. Som eit gulldekorert symbol på venetiansk makt og rikdom har kyrkja vore kjend som 'Gullkyrkja' (Chiesa d'Oro) sidan 1000-talet.

I naively booked onto a €20 tour but didn't realise the museum was only €5! However the tour was informative if not a bit rushed and our guide was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend more than once!

Note: interior mosaics are highlighted 11:30-12:30 daily, it's the best time to get inside. Also they don't let you inside with a back-pack: either use storage facility nearby, or split into groups.

Impressive architecture! For women there are special requirements for covered shoulders and legs. Free to enter, but charge to further facilities. Treasury holds some remains of Venetian doges.

Beautiful Byzantine style cathedral inspired by Hagia Sofia in Istanbul. And the original bronze horses upstairs are remarkable. Don’t miss the view from the terrace. Definitely take a guided tour!

Some of the best-preserved and most impressive Byzantine mosaics are located on northwestern corner of the Basilica. Best of all? They are free to admire and photograph! No flash, of course.

You have to drop your backpacks to the street to the left of the entrance. Also no photography inside the basilica but you can take pictures once outside at the terrace on the second floor.
