We rose early and made our way to San Marco. There was a queue for the duomo which hadn't yet opened so we went first to the Campanile where there was no wait. The view was slightly hazy but still magnificent and I took the classic view along with millions of other people over the years! I was also amazed by the size of the bells and was pleased they were not ringing when we were there. The decoration on both the bell and the beams bearing it was yet another example of fine, and often unsung, Italian workmanship.

The mosaic over the left hand front door of San Marco is apparently the only original byzantine mosaic on the exterior. It shows an early version of the church, including the 4 horses on the upper level.
