Stop At: Piazza San Marco, 31024 Venice Italy
Piazza San Marco, located in Venice, is one of the most important Italian monumental squares, renowned worldwide for its beauty and architectural integrity. It is the only urban space in Venice that properly takes the name of a square, as all the other spaces in the form of a square are properly defined fields. Its main body has a trapezoidal shape and is 170 meters long: other areas are grafted onto it. It is also known as “the Piazza” or “the drawing room of Europe”.

Stop At: Procuratie Vecchie, Piazza San Marco, Venice Italy
The Procuratie are imposing buildings that rise in Venice, in the San Marco district, and that surround Piazza San Marco on three sides.

They are divided into three wings that almost entirely delimit the part of the square in front of the basilica of San Marco: the Procuratie Vecchie to the north, the Napoleonic Wing to the west and the Procuratie Nuove to the south.
