Cory and I have spent many hours wandering the streets of
Venice. We have seen all of the amazing big churches, and many of the small
ones as well (there are well over a hundred in the city).
There have been a few churches that have struck us with
their magnificence, history, and beauty. At the top of the list is certainly
San Marco’s Basilica.
The walls and ceilings are covered with the most beautiful
mosaics. These mosaics are the most amazing works of art that have been added
to the cathedral over a span of nine hundred years. I have never seen familiar
Bible stories portrayed in such an inspired and stunning array.
We meandered through the church, saw the view from the
upstairs balcony, and visited the museum portion enclosed within the building.
We are continually amazed by the historical background here.
