The Homepage of St. Mark's Basilica

I stumbled across the official website for St. Mark's Basilica/ Basilica San Marco. It looks to have kicked off quite recently, perhaps this month. It is rather small and has a humble bearing, but is nonetheless fun to click through. (I wish I could design their site for them ... there is such rich potential.)

I suggest starting with the site map, which, since the site is so small, is really a better home page than their actual home page.

Also worth a look is the links section. I will be putting together the mother of all Venice link lists eventually (something that really doesn't exist in a coherant way on line at the moment), and I'll poach from the Basilica's list for sure. It's mostly official sites they link to ... governmental/associations/religious etc., but still has some interesting stuff (much is in Italiano, but some English, too).

Click on the picture above for a higher res version. I have many, many photos of the Basilica ... mostly from outside ... lots of details.

Norman -
Do you have any sources or know of any good websites on Venice and Byzantium? I am taking a class at Drew U. on Byzantium and want to do some research related to both. Perhaps even art/architecture based?
As always,

Kurt:
Web sites on Venice and Byzantium, no. But look at John Julius Norwich's History of Byzantium and History of Venice (two different books). You can browse them online at Amazon (if you are registered at Amazon). Amazon is an amazing search tool. The full text of hundreds of thousands of books is now on-line. So you can enter a search term like :venice and Byzantium" and read full text citations ... in .pdf format. It takes a little tweaking, but it is possible to find books, like Norwich's, and search for terms within them. Really a revolution.
