St. Mark's Church

Introduction

St. Mark's Square is the heart of Venice and one of Europe's most beautiful squares. Ringed by gorgeous buildings and full of water-city charm, it was praised by Napoleon as Europe's finest drawing room, a gorgeous, romantic sight in Venice. St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco) sits at the center of Venice, the water city, the most core, gorgeous and charming spot of this city floating on blue water, praised by Napoleon as Europe's finest drawing room. This open, spacious square is embraced by a ring of elegant, gorgeous buildings: at one end stands the resplendent, magnificent St. Mark's Basilica (its Byzantine domes and gold-inlaid facade); beside it the tall, slender St. Mark's Campanile (climb for the whole city); on the other side the gorgeous Doge's Palace and the elegant arcaded buildings (former government offices, now cafes and shops) wrapping three sides of the square, forming an open, gorgeous, harmonious space, grand and beautiful. On the square lives the unique water-city flavor: flocks of pigeons fly and rest; old cafes play gentle music; tourists from around the world stroll, rest, feed pigeons and take photos, leisurely and romantic (at high tide the square is occasionally flooded, a special water-city scene). Visiting Venice and strolling the gorgeous, elegant St. Mark's Square to feel the romantic water-city flavor is a gorgeous sight.
