Piazza San Marco has been a destination for
locals and visitors for more than a millennium.
One of the world's top urban public spaces,
called Saint Mark's Square in English, the piazza
is the center of life in Venice, lined by some of
the best Renaissance architecture standing today.
It's also an open-air museum of great sculpture,
with each bronze and carved marble work of art
telling a story. Every year, more than 3 million
people come to Venice, considered one of the most
important arts and culture destinations in the
world
