The Scuola Grande di San Marco is one of the most historic and significant institutions in Venice, dating back to its foundation in 1260. Originally serving as a charitable organization, it played a vital role in Venice's civic and cultural life. Over the centuries, it has undergone various transformations, including its use as a hospital during the 19th century. Today, it is part of the city’s museum network, showcasing historical artifacts and architecture.

The building itself is a stunning example of Renaissance architecture, featuring intricate facades, Corinthian columns, and a grand staircase designed by Mauro Codussi.
