Saint Mark's Square!!! This square is
the undisputed symbol of Venice, the most beautiful living
room in the world.
The Venice Basilica, built in the 9th
century, maintains the characteristic profile of the Byzantine
church, with Greek cross plan and central dome edged with
others four round form domes that end with bulbiform little
domes. It is the principal church in Venice and was the
place where the Doges were ordained.
The Palazzo Ducale (Ducal Palace, also
known as Doge's Palace) was the residence of the Doge
up to the fall of the Venetian Republic in I797 a public
palace and seat of the administration of justice. the
highest and richest symbol of Venetian civilization, of
its cultural, military, political and economic history.
All historic periods are represented in an extraordinary
stratification of structural and decorative elements:
from the antique foundations of the original Gothic complex,
to the great halls dedicated to political life and decorated
by the canvases of Veronese
