During the centuries the Venetians embellished it with precious objects and works of art brought in from different places in the world. Visitors can enjoy more than 8000 square meters of mosaic that cover the Basilica walls, vaults and cupolas. The eastern arm has a raised presbytery with a crypt beneath.

About catholic weddings in Venice
Catholic wedding ceremonies in Venice can be religious only or legally binding at the same time. Ceremonies are performed by a local English-speaking priest but in case the priest of the couple wish to travel to celebrate the wedding, he will be warmly welcomed by the local priest. Floral decorations and classical music are allowed, the organist is a must but the atmosphere created by an harp playing during the wedding ceremony is something we strongly recommend. If the ceremony is legally binding, we will settle an appointment at the Town Hall for a quick formality after the usual meeting with the local priest. Arrival at the church can be an amazing experience! Bride can arrive by private taxi or gondola, be helped by her father to walk out and reach the church entrance. The photographer takes shots of this special arrival that takes you inside the church where your new life begins.
