Marble and gold interior of St. Mark’s

Look down — Venice is under your feet.

What to Notice

  • Color contrasts: porphyry, serpentine, alabaster.
  • Geometric knots and animal motifs as moral cues.

Tip: Photograph with a phone at hip height to reduce reflections.

Bottom Line

The floor patterns are a quiet counterpoint to the loud gold above.
