St. Mark’s Square has always been the most important Square in Venice and it has been defined as “the most beautiful drawing room of Europe”.
The Doge’s Palace is one of the finest example of Venetian Gothic style. It was the residence of the Doge, and the political and judicial heart of the city.
St. Mark’s Bell tower is one of the iconic symbol of Venice. Discover its history and how it was rebuilt after the collapse of 1902.
The Clock Tower is an early Renaissance building on the north side of the Piazza San Marco.
The Procuratie (literally, “procuracies”) are three connected buildings on St Mark’s Square. They are also connected to St Mark’s Clocktower. They are historic buildings over arcades, the last of them completed under Napoleon’s occupation.
St. Mark’s Basilica is also known as the Golden Basilica due to its precious mosaics. It originally served as the chapel of the Doge, the head of the Republic of Venice. It’s still considered one of the best known examples of Italo-Byzantine architecture.
