Piazza San Marco

Description

Piazza San Marco is Venice's most famous piazza. What appears to be a rectangle is actually a trapezium, and when you look up at the basilica, the piazza seems enormous, although it is only 175 meters long. On both sides of the piazza are the Procuratie, which housed the procurators of San Marco. The centerpiece of the piazza is the Basilica di San Marco The oldest of these (probably built by Codussi) are on your left when you face the basilica; Longhena built the ones on the right later, in 1640. The most recent buildings, commissioned by Napoleon in 1810, lie behind.

Must see early int he morning

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/24/11

We got up real early one day and took a walk down to the piazza. The sun was about to rise and and square was completely empty. It was interesting to experience it in this light, since during the day thousands of people visit. We took some awesome pics of the sun rising and in the piazza.

Astounding sight!

By Brooke and Ryan, 3/15/10

It's bigger than you think. After winding through the narrow streets/alleys to get there, the path opens up to this expansive square. There's a lot to take it. Just a note: as you're navigating to the square - don't worry so much about the map just follow the yellow signs on most corners reading "Per San Marco" - we found it was much less stressful than keeping a finger on the map the entire time!

Pure Awesome

By AlexN, 6/12/09

Iliked it met, nice people there. I want to go back. Like the title it's awesome i got to ride a gondola and I happened to be there on a day when there was a carnival and I got a mask. Yes it was great but to anyone going bring a wallet full of money! Please go it's great and if you don't go your'e only cheating yourself. Oh and a tip to all people who are deciding between 2 places go to Venice because a trip to Venice might even give you the inspiration to write a book like it did to me! Have fun in Venice but learn Italian first!

A Must-See

By Wendy, 6/11/08

More spectacular than any photo could portray. A real slice of Venice. Be sure to spend time winding through the little passageways to get a real feel of Venetian life. A multitude of shops exists with locally made glass objects almost too beautiful to gaze upon. We had the best lunch of our lives here.

Great city

By Clayton, 3/11/08

The only problem is that it was expensive when we were visiting because of the falling value of the dollar. It is definately worth the time and the money. You can see the whole city in 3 days.

Planning my next trip!

By Robin, 11/14/07

Absolutely loved Venice! If you like ancient architecture and art, you will love this city! When I walked into San Marco Square it literally took my breath away! What a beautiful place! Wonderful for romantics and lovers, especially in the evening. As the sun sets it casts a beautiful glow over the entire city. I would recommend a visit to Venice to anyone!

My most favourite place in the world

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/27/07

Its beautiful, it has a wonderful atmosphere, it has lots of pigeons that you can feed and theres lots of different places to visit, both expensive and cheap.Also, beacause I went towards the end of the year there were less crowds which made it even better.There's something for everyone, not just in the San Marco Piazza, but in the whole of Venice. I would DEFINATELY go again!
