THE GOLDEN BASILICA IN THE EVENING


 


Discover one of the world’s most majestic cathedrals, a true masterpiece of Byzantine art!

You will enter the Basilica completely in the dark and will enjoy a unique spectacle in the world. The lights of the Basilica will turn on slowly shading light little by little on the moscaics, while you can enjoy a concert of sacred music.

Together with a tour guide arranged in agreement with the Curia di Venezia, you can take in a full tour of the Golden Basilica, once the private chapel of the Doges of Venice, and the only one of its kind in Italy, thanks to the beautiful gold mosaics and marble inlay flooring.
Comfortably seated, listen to our Guide describe the biblical scenes represented and the history and particularities of this ancient basilica. Admire the Pala d’oro, an exquisite example of Byzantine art with its thousands of gems and precious stones.
