An adorable place of worship and an epitome of imperialism. Originally built to house the corpse of St Mark, the Basilica dates back to 828.However, the first version of this massive church was unfortunately destroyed in the year 932. History repeated itself, and the second declaration of the church was annihilated in the year 1063.

Today, the Basilica Di San Marco surprasses the other Romanesque churches in the surrounding mainlaind and cities. It was constructed on a Greek cross plan with the architect having Constantinople's Church of the Twelve Apostles in mind. The five bulbous domes of the basilica do create an impact. For the past 500 years, the dukes and leaders of the place have worked on aggrandizing and emblazing the basilica with treasures from the Asian countries.
