The Details on St. Mark's Church in Venice, Italy

Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
When you stand in the square facing the font of St. Mark's Church, there are quite a few details to note. The four horses above the doorway are replicas of the statues that are on exhibit inside the basilica. Above the horses, the gilded Venetian lion, the symbol of Venice, and St. Mark and the Angels crown the top of the church.

Facade mosaics are just spectacular. Depicting scenes from the life of St. Mark, the gilded mosaics shine brightly on a sunny day. Notice also the five huge domes on top of the church. Read more about visiting St. Mark's Church.
