Stories You'll Hear

  • The Stolen Horses: Ever wondered about the four giant bronze horses on the Basilica? They were "borrowed" from Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade in 1204—yep, stolen! Now, they’re a symbol of Venice’s power and swagger.
  • The Glowing Mosaics: The golden mosaics inside the Basilica are jaw-dropping. The sunlight hits them perfectly, making them shine like they’re alive. It’s like stepping into a living work of art!
  • The Secret Message in the Dome: Check out one dome that’s smaller than the rest. It’s no accident—it’s Venice’s way of showing humility, saying, “We’re powerful, but we know our place.” Pretty cool, right?
