Italiano: La Basilica di San Marco è la chiesa maggiore di Venezia. É sempre stata la chiesa ufficiale dei Dogi e della Repubblica di Venezia, mentre la cattedrale rimase San Pietro in Castello fino al crollo della Repubblica, quando San Marco prese anche questo titolo. La struttura attuale tuttavia risale alla seconda metà dell'XI secolo.
