The Journey
Piazza San Marco
Step into Piazza San Marco, the heart of Venice and one of the world's most celebrated squares. Here, history and grandeur converge, surrounded by architectural marvels and steeped in centuries of Venetian power and artistry. Marvel at St. Mark’s Basilica, an opulent Byzantine masterpiece adorned with golden mosaics and the famed bronze horses – spoils of the Fourth Crusade – that command attention from above. Explore the Campanile, the towering bell tower offering panoramic views of the city and lagoon, and the Procuratie, the historic administrative buildings that once governed the Venetian Republic. Piazza San Marco is more than just a square; it's a stage where history unfolds, a place where the spirit of Venice comes alive, and a must-see for any visitor seeking to understand the city's rich heritage.
Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo
Discover Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo, a sprawling square dominated by the Basilica di San Giovanni e Paolo, often dubbed the 'Pantheon of Venice.' This majestic Gothic church houses the tombs of numerous doges, offering a unique glimpse into the lives and legacies of Venice's former rulers. Adjacent to the basilica stands the Scuola Grande di San Marco, a Renaissance masterpiece showcasing the artistic and charitable spirit of the Venetian Republic. This square, with its impressive architecture and historical significance, provides a serene contrast to the bustling crowds of Piazza San Marco and offers a deeper understanding of Venice's political and cultural history. It is an essential stop for those seeking to explore Venice beyond the typical tourist routes.
