Scuola Grande San Marco

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. Visitors can explore several key areas such as the Sala Capitolare and Sala dell'Albergo, both adorned with beautiful artwork and historical significance.
