The Translation of the Body of St Mark to the Basilica on the lunette above the north portal of the west façade (Porta di Sant' Alipio) is the only ancient mosaic preserved on the façade of the Basilica of San Marco. It shows the Basilica as it must have looked in the mid-13th century, before the Gothic sculptural decorations were added. Clearly visible are the four bronze horses on the second-storey terrace.
