the largest and grandest church of the 2nd golden age is St. Mark's Cathedral, it is a Renaissance(rebirth) of Byzantium. It was built to house St. Mark's body. outside there are mosaics and 2,643 colored marble columns which were brought from Constantinople. Inside there are tons o mosaics and Venetian glass. At one point there were 4 bronze horses above the doorway, the original Greek bronzes were brought inside though. the horses up there now are just replicas.
