  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 Venezia

Venezia galleggia su una laguna di oltre cento isole: canali, palazzi e ponti senza auto, dove ogni passeggiata finisce in un luogo inatteso.

Il Canal Grande attraversa la città con una grande S rovesciata, fiancheggiato da palazzi e scavalcato dal ponte di Rialto. Vicino alla sua foce, piazza San Marco riunisce la basilica di San Marco con i suoi mosaici dorati, il Palazzo Ducale, il Ponte dei Sospiri e l'alto campanile di mattoni. Vaporetti e gondole mostrano la città dall'angolazione per cui è stata costruita.

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