Piazza San Marco patrimonio dell'umanità
Eretta nel IX secolo per accogliere il corpo di San Marco, era la cappella del Palazzo. Einsieme a Palazzo Ducale, il luogo-simbolo di Venezia e della sua storia millenaria. Ricostruita tra il 1063 e il 1094 su basi romanico-bizantine, nel tempo si arricchisce del rivestimento musivo, di decori e ornamenti nei quali si fondono diversi linguaggi ed elementi bizantini, gatici e rinascimentali. Dal 1807 è la chiesa cattedrale della città.

Built in the ninth century to house the body of St. Mark, this was the chapel of the Doge's Palace; in effect, the two buildings are the very symbol of Venice and its thousand years of history. Rebuilt in 1063-1094 in Romanesque-Byzantine style, the basilica would over time be richly adorned with mosaics and decorations

Markusbasilika
9. Jh., wieder erbaut im 11. Jh., Fassadengestaltung 12.-15. Jh.
Markusplatz ein Weltkulturgut
Die Markusbasilika wurde im 9. Jahrhundert als Kultstätte für die Reliquien des Evangelisten Markus erbaut und diente als Kapelle des Palastes. Markusbasilika und Dogenpalast gelten als Symbolorte für Venedig und seine tausendjährige Geschichte. Der Neubau zwischen 1063 und 1094 erfolgte auf dem romanisch-byzantinischen Grundriss des Vorgängerbaus. Über die Jahrhunderte erfuhr die repräsentative Ausschmückung zahlreiche Bereicherungen in Marmorverkleidung, Dekor und Ornament, in denen sich verschiedene Ausdrucksformen sowie Elemente aus Gotik und Renaissance vermischen. Seit 1807 ist die Markusbasilika Kathedralkirche der Stadt.

The Patriarchal Cathedral Basilica of Saint Mark (Italian: Basilica Cattedrale Patriarcale di San Marco), commonly known as St Mark's Basilica (Italian: Basilica di San Marco; Venetian: Baxéłega de San Marco), is the cathedral church of the Patriarchate of Venice; it became the episcopal seat of the Patriarch of Venice in 1807, replacing the earlier cathedral of San Pietro di Castello. It is dedicated to and holds the relics of Saint Mark the Evangelist, the patron saint of the city.(Submitted on May 14, 2024, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
The church is located on the eastern end of Saint Mark's Square, the former political and religious centre of the Republic of Venice, and is attached to the Doge's Palace. Prior to the fall of the republic in 1797,it was the chapel of the Doge and was subject to his jurisdiction, with the concurrence of the procurators of Saint Mark de supra for administrative and financial affairs.Photographed by James Hulse, March 8, 20244.
