Venice's Stolen Statue

Venice’s Stolen Statue: The Foot Still in Istanbul 🦶
On the corner of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice stands an ancient Roman statue of the Four Tetrarchs. But look closer — something is missing. One of the rulers has lost his foot.
That foot is not lost at all — it’s still in Istanbul, a reminder of how the statue was stolen during the Fourth Crusade in 1204, when crusaders looted Constantinople and carried their treasures back to Venice.
This short video uncovers the strange story of the Tetrarchs, how they ended up in Venice, and why part of the statue remains hundreds of miles away in modern-day Turkey.
