Venezia - Basilica di San Marco

Venezia - Basilica di San Marco
Venice (ital. Venezia) is one of the most important tourist destinations worldwide with about 30 million visitors each year.

As each tourist takes at least 100 photos (minimum!) in Venice 3000000000 photos are taken here per year, what means more than 8 millions per day.

I have already uploaded dozends of shots from previous visits, so ll try to cut down the number of uploads this time.

The main altar of the Basilica di San Marco is located under a ciborium. Here is a detail of one of the pillars, supporting the canopy. I have no idea, how old these complex pillars are or where they came from, nor could I read/translate the inscriptions. They may originate from Byzanz like many works of art here (eg. the "Four Tetrarchs").

Seen here is the "Adoration of the Magi".
Note the name HERODES below
