  2. You’ll also hear about the Campanile (Bell Tower) and the Procuratie, which once served as governmental and commercial buildings, forming the backbone of the Venetian Republic’s administrative life. This square once served as a center of public life, religious rituals, and international diplomacy. Continue the walking tour through the narrow alleyways and wide campos of Venice to Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo, a massive Gothic church often called the “Pantheon of Venice” for its many doges buried inside. Alongside, you’ll view the Scuola Grande di San Marco—a Renaissance masterpiece that reflects the charitable and artistic culture of the Venetian Republic.

About Venise

Venise flotte sur une lagune de plus de cent îles : une ville de canaux, de palais et de ponts sans voitures, où chaque promenade mène à l'inattendu.

Le Grand Canal traverse la ville en un grand S inversé, bordé de palais et enjambé par le pont du Rialto. Près de son embouchure, la place Saint-Marc réunit la basilique Saint-Marc et ses mosaïques dorées, le palais des Doges, le pont des Soupirs et le haut campanile de brique. Vaporetti et gondoles montrent la ville sous l'angle pour lequel elle a été construite.

Top-ranked sights in Venise: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
