Tesselation!And if you can take your time!

We had to be picky about arriving at a less busy time (murder early morning, notably even for pre-booked)and found late afternoon excellent. We thought busier than Doges Palace because it's generally free (you pay for particular exhibit rooms only)meaning it attracts large cruise ship parties earlier on.
Having got a good time we were able to truly enjoy the magnificent basilica, mosaics and all without jostling,and the Palace d'Oro certainly warrants taking some time over.
Square of ancient history that’s totally outstanding to many places I hAve travelled. You have to spend time here as in
