Approx. Time: 2 hours
Activity Level: Easy to Moderate

Piazza San Marco(Saint Mark's Square) is dominated by the extraordinary Basilica of Saint Mark (author of one of the Gospels), a unique blend of Eastern and Western architectural styles and the physical embodiment of Venice's unique role as the maritime power dominating the crossroads between both worlds for over a millennium. The magnificent golden frescoed interior replete with treasures plundered from across Asia and Europe is rivaled only by the glorious exterior facade, the first glimpse of which will never leave the mind of any visitor to Venice. The Basilica opens onto the enormous Piazza and the bell tower. Visitors may ride an elevator to the top for an unparalleled view of Venice and the entire lagoon.
