Hiking

The heart of Venice, the soul of a glorious city capable of transcending time and keeping its beauty intact over the centuries. Piazza San Marco is the most beautiful square in Europe and certainly this statement is not an exaggeration. Those who go to Venice cannot fail to pass through here.

Hiking

St. Mark's Square is located in the heart of Venice. It measures 180 metres long by 70 metres wide and is the only piazza in Venice, as the rest are piazzales or fields.

Its construction began in the 9th century, and it took on its current size and shape in 1177, being paved 100 years later.

By the way: St. Mark's Square alone stands on over 100,000 tree trunks. Unbelievable how many tree trunks were rammed into the ground for the whole city.

By the way, pigeons haven't been around in masses for a long time, because feeding pigeons is now prohibited in Venice. So: Better leave your breadcrumbs at home ;-)
