You will continue the tour by descending into the Crypt of the Basilica, an underground place that exudes a special aura of mystery and sacredness. The crypt, built to house the relics of saints and to serve as a place of prayer and meditation, is rich in Christian symbolism. Your Catholic guide will take you through the rooms that were once reserved for monks and priests, revealing fascinating stories about religious life in Venice in centuries past.

Finally, the tour focuses on the St. Mark's Altarpiece, a unique work of art depicting the patron saint with a beauty that transcends time. You will also explore the Treasury of the Basilica, a collection of sacred relics, liturgical vestments and precious objects that were kept and venerated inside the Basilica.

Every corner of the Basilica, from the Golden Pall to the Museum, is a testament to the deep spirituality that has permeated the life of this extraordinary city.

About Venedig

Venedig flyter i en lagun med över hundra öar, en bilfri stad av kanaler, palats och broar där varje promenad slutar någonstans oväntat.

Canal Grande svänger genom staden i ett stort spegelvänt S, kantat av palats och korsat av Rialtobron. Nära mynningen samlar Markusplatsen Markuskyrkan med sina gyllene mosaiker, Dogepalatset, Suckarnas bro och det höga tegelklocktornet. Vattenbussar och gondoler visar staden från den vinkel den byggdes för att ses.

Top-ranked sights in Venedig: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
