Skip the line Golden Basilica and the treasure of Pala d'Oro with authorized Venetian guide

After meeting your guide at the meeting point, you will be accompanied to discover St. Mark’s Basilica, Venice’s most important monument and the heart of the city for more than a thousand years.
The tour takes you inside the magnificent basilica, where more than 8,000 square metres of golden mosaics cover the vaults, domes and walls, creating one of the most spectacular settings of Byzantine art.
But this experience offers something more: inside the Presbytery, behind the main altar, you will admire the extraordinary Pala d’Oro, one of the finest masterpieces of Byzantine and Venetian goldsmithing.
Its history dates back to the 11th century, and the altarpiece was enlarged and enriched over the centuries, including with works and materials brought from the East following the Fourth Crusade. Thousands of precious stones and pearls, together with finely crafted enamels, make it an object of extraordinary richness: emeralds, rubies, sapphires, topazes, garnets and pearls adorn this magnificent altarpiece.
An even more complete experience.
