St. Mark’s Square

St. Mark's Square is a historical symbol of Venice. Its construction began in the 9th century.

It is located in the centre of Venice. Visitors arrive there to see the two most important museums in Venice: the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. In addition, there are other buildings such as the Campanile, the Correr museum and the Clock Tower.





The square is the lowest place in Venice, so when there is flooding it is the first place to flood. When this happens, the authorities place walkways for the transit of citizens and visitors.

St. Mark's Square is full of pigeons and many tourists take photos with them.
