St Mark's square is dominated by the impressing Basilica San Marco, and this house of prayer is one of Earth's most adorned churches. When Napoleon Bonaparte entered the St Mark's Square in the year 1797, he wrote about it as one of the most wonderful places he had ever been. The Doges' Palace and the tower from the 15th century are nearby and provide stunning views over St Mark's square and the canals below.
