STUNNING INTERIOR OF ST. MARK'S BASILICA: CHURCH OF GOLD!

[@DANiELE94ThEbEsT]

The most beautiful church in the world!

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

It's hard to argue with you on that point! It's definitely one of the most beautiful churches in the world.

[@shanosantwanos3908]

Incredible ..Stunning

[@rarespiritwendy]

I just found this video…I so want to visit Venice. It’s number one on my travel list. Thank you for the great video and explanation of the art and artifacts there.

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

You're very welcome! It's such a beautiful church and a must-see in Venice. I hope you make it to Venice one day.

[@rarespiritwendy]

@@AndysAwesomeAdventures hoping to this Autumn! Ty for your videos!

[@allandidonato]

I just came across your video. Very well done. I’m preparing for a trip to Venice right now and was hoping to get some great shots in the basilica. Did you have to get special permission to film inside? How did you get such great footage?

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

I don't know what the rules are now, but let's just say that if you film or take photos, make sure no security guards or church employees are watching you.

[@allandidonato]

@@AndysAwesomeAdventures Hahahaha. Thanks Andy. I guess I won’t be walking through with a 360 camera. Maybe I’ll look into those spy glasses. 😅

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

Or you can stand behind a pillar, where it's harder for anyone to see you.

[@Gorgelhenkert]

Wooooow! Stunning Basillica! If coronacrisis ends I really want to go there. Thanks for your nice video's!

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

You're welcome. Yes, when it's safe to travel and you go to Venice, this is definitely one of the main highlights.

[@shanosantwanos3908]

Could also be called phoenicia I guess.. Venetian/phoenician.

[@Daniel-mt3lp]

This was a great explanatory video. Thank you very much!

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

You're quite welcome! Seeing the inside of St. Mark's Basilica is definitely a Venice highlight.

[@KaterinaFerrara]

This is hands down the best video of San Marco on KZbin. I love the detail to help orient when we go (hopefully) this year 💜❤️. Really appreciate it.

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

Wow-thank you so much Katherine. I really appreciate your comment!

[@adelinehorst7359]

Thank you for sharing this information it's really interesting

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video-the Basilica is a must-see when you go to Venice.

[@kitten103083]

Beautiful 😍

[@KaterinaFerrara]

Treasury doesn’t seem an adequate enough word for the amount of amazing treasure in there!!

[@remonaamituanai6805]

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour ! Thank you for the detailed information ! I don't think I will ever travel to these beautiful places ....Blessed be God in his angels and in His saints !

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. It really was quite an incredible place to see.

[@evgenikolev2926]

I can't help but think what would the original mosaics in Hagia Sophia would have looked like......

[@vancegilmore245]

Metaphor and Allegory.

[@susanpower9265]

good morning chiesa doro on your feast day today/hope someday a holy and wise service to st mark will be filmed inside?is it a museum or are there services still held

[@nikolaygerov3842]

At 11:50, you write that Trebizond is modern day Crimea: This is not correct. The city of Trabzon, historically known as Trebizond, is a city on the Black Sea coast of today's northeastern Turkey. The city of Trabzon was the capital of the Empire of Trebizond between 1204 and 1461. The Empire of Trebizond uled over a part of modern day Crimea. Still, Trebizond is the city of Trebizond/ Trabzon in this context. It is good to check the details.

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

The Empire of Trebizond consisted of portions of Crimea.

The only way to fully grasp the beauty of the Basilica is to attend the sunday mass with the choir and all the lights switched on! That is quite an experience!

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

I'm sure it is-must have been amazing.

[@michaelfisher7170]

The cathedral is a work of art..although i do harbor issues with the exterior...just...maybe too much? But the interior... almost purely Byzantine and we have an echo of how those great Eastern Roman cathedrals that it is modelled on once looked. Great video!

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

Thank you! The interior of St. Mark's Basilica is truly a must-visit in Venice. Didn't do it during my 1996 Venice visit, but glad I did it this time around.

[@issith7340]

The entire building is a copy of the Apostoles temple of constantinople. Inside and outside. But after they sacrilege byzantion, they exposed all stolen things in there.

[@apolodorojpge4419]

Make a Video of Hagia Sophia!

[@AndysAwesomeAdventures]

Your wish is my command :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmrIeop-rNF-sKM

[@Engelhafen]

Rood screen not rod screen

[@cz9101]

Every single stone stolen from Constantinople tough

[@kcmullins6179]

And Alexander the great is most likely buried there where mark is supposed to be

[@issith7340]

At least you can give a glimpse at medieval constantinople, in that church, since almost everything is stolen from there by the Venetians. And medieval constantinople is not there anymore, since Venetians and after ottoman turks, destroyed it.

[@kasharacarter597]

People starving ALLLLLL over the word & this is the best we can do smh

[@issith7340]

Stolen gold. Byzantine.

[@matoric3444]

Church of thieves
