After lining up for 30 minutes and then realizing that you have to pay to get into Basilica di San Marco (Saint Mark's Basilica) - Venice's most iconic church, Sayu Rinpoche decided last minute to explore this impressive basilica that's very different from most other cathedrals you'll find in Italy - Its Byzantine style interior. In this episode, you'll find Pala d'Oro (Golden Cloth)- one of the best works of Byzatine enamel ever created and four ancient Greek era horse statues known as the Horses of Saint Mark (Cavalli di San Marco) - also from Constantinople - then capital of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. What's the connection here? As we explore more, we discovered that this very basilica bears the darkest history of Venice that really, is no secret....

I visited the Vatican and St Marks basilica this summer. The Vatican, I didn’t think was all that special. St Marks….my god it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I just stood outside and marveled at the beauty that was before me. The inside was just gorgeous.

I really appreciate you paying and paying and paying. Of all the touring videos I've seen of Venice over the years, I saw things I'd never seen in this one. Made me think about The Merchant of Venice. And I tell you, I hope you can absorb all the great things you're seeing and experiencing. That shot where you came out to the rooftops with the replicas was mind blowing. It might be my favorite image I've seen of yours. The whole piazza area was great imagery, but that walk-out was spectacular. And your preview footage also looks vibrant and "alive."

Yeah I know paying one section after another within the same tourist attraction can be annoying....but again I think the total price is worth it because Basilica di San Marco is truly awesome. Every time I watch these footages myself , man, it blows my mind too, especially now knowing that the interior of this Basilica is made of small pieces of colored squares. Anyways I hope all is going well Bob!

@@SayuRinpoche That's great to hear. That you ARE enjoying the actual travel. I know the logistics, the physical doing, the research, the youtube mechanics, are all probably a LOT. Compared to, if you were just walking around, no camera, pure travel. So I appreciate your investments and sharing.
