The iconic Piazza San Marco sits in the heart of Venice, Italy, overlooking the Venetian Lagoon. This unmissable grand square, surrounded by captivating Renaissance and Gothic architecture, has welcomed travelers since the 11th century. Piazza San Marco is the only public square in Venice, often known as 'The Drawing Room of Europe', and is framed by the vast Basilica San Marco and the Procuratie Vecchie and Nuove. Inside the picturesque Procuratie buildings, visitors can find a collection of boutiques and galleries. Sitting in the center of the piazza, the zigzag pavement pattern is a sure way to recognize Piazza San Marco, and it serves as a canvas for many political protests and special events throughout the year. On Pigeon Day, visitors flock to the square to be fed by the famous Venetian pigeons. It is free to wander around the square, making it an easily accessible and popular spot for travelers.
