Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Cathedral of St.Mark in Venice was built in the Byzantine style, which emphasizes a centralized plan with a domed roof. This type of architecture was common in early Byzantine churches and was later adopted in medieval architecture. The complex compartmentalization of the interior space of the cathedral is a characteristic feature of Byzantine churches, which often had multiple levels and galleries. The influence of Early Christian martyria, Jewish house-synagogues, and Early Christian basilicas is not as prominent in the Cathedral of St.Mark's design.
