An overview of the most famous square in the world.

What makes St Mark’s Square the most famous square in the world? Its history? Its concentration of beauty? Its unique position on the planet Earth? Join me on a journey through time and discover the jewels like the palaces, the monuments and the buildings that surround the square, the important people such as the Doges or the Procurators, the Sestiere of St Mark, the Royal Gardens and the church that you can’t see today.
