Transcription: The "San Marco" Cathedral is a small low but picturesque building. It is only 249 feet long and 168 feet wide. It is a brick structure of the 10th and 11th century. Its walls outside are incrusted with marble and inside with marbles and mosaics. In the 12th century it was remodeled in the Byzantine form with Oriental magnificence. It is in the form of a Greek cross and is surmounted by three large Byzantine domes and many smaller ones. Its Gothic facade was added in the 15th century. Its entrances are marked by innumerable columns and on pedestals over the main entrance are four bronze horses.
