Gold of San Marco

"Gold of San Marco" refers to treasures and artifacts associated with St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy, which holds a renowned collection of gold and precious objects. Historically, Venice acquired these treasures through trade, gifts, and acquisitions, symbolizing wealth and religious devotion. The term can also broadly describe the city's historical prosperity linked to its role as a major trading hub during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, when Venice amassed significant wealth, much of which was reflected in gold and ornate art displayed in its churches and palaces.
