Introduction

St. Mark's Square is a landmark of Venice, Italy, located in the city center. It is the only square in Venice that is referred to as a "Piazza," while others are referred to as "Campi." St. Mark's Square is unique among European cities because it is located in the city center yet is frequently traversed by relaxed water traffic, free from the noise of vehicles. It has become one of Venice's most iconic landmarks, attracting numerous tourists, photographers, and pigeons. In the 19th century, French Emperor Napoleon praised St. Mark's Square as the "most beautiful drawing room in Europe."
