St. Mark's Square
First stamped by @Nadeen in Oct 2026 as Worth itSt. Mark’s Square is the largest and most iconic piazza in the city. It’s a must-see for any trips to Venice. Many of the most important buildings in Venice are located around this piazza. Look out for all the pigeons! The main attraction here is St. Mark’s Basilica or Basilica di San Marco. This cathedral is one of the oldest buildings still standing in Venice; it was built in the 800s. Both the exterior and interior are stunning, but the latter is really breathtaking. Nearly the whole cathedral is filled with mosaics that were done over the course of several centuries. The highlight is the gold, gem-encrusted altar screen known as the Pala d’Oro.
