Venice - St Mark’s Square

The most famous square in Venice, this expansive, pigeon filled piazza is bordered by museums, famous 18th cafes such as Florian’s and Quadri and some of the most stunning architecture of the city. Once described by Napoleon as the finest drawing room in Europe, St Mark’s Square is indeed a unique place to visit. On one side of the square is the beautifully intricate Basilica di San Marco with it’s glittering Medieval mosaics whilst the landmark Campanile protectively towers over all. A stone’s throw away from the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs, St Mark’s Square really is the beating heart of the city.
