Piazzetta San Marco - I have seen so many paintings of this scene that
it was almost unreal seeing it in person
the
Wednesday continued
After touring the top of the Campanile, we crossed to
Basilica
Cattedrale Patriarcale di San Marco. Admission to the main floor was
free, but after taking our time viewing the main floor, we climbed up the
steep stairs to the gallery and paid 5 euros to tour the small museum and
view the mosaics up close.
The gallery also provided access to the roof where these
photographs were taken.

Saint Mark and Statue of Saint Theodore

not speak
