Five facts about San Marco Piazza in Venice

below are some interesting facts I learned about this beautiful square (San Marco) in Venice: 1. It’s the lowest point in Venice (around 90 cm above sea level) which makes it prone to flooding and is the first area to get flooded in a situation of an Acqua Alta. 2. The Piazza San Marco is the only square in Venice which is called a Piazza. 3. Napoleon named it “the world’s most beautiful drawing room”. 4. There are 3 flagpoles on the front of the basilica that refer to the 3 kingdoms Venice conquered: Crete, Cyprus and the Peloponnese. 5. The square was first paved in the 12th century, but was renovated in 1723 in to a more geometric design. ~ 📌SAVE POST FOR FUTURE TRAVELS TO📍VENICE, ITALY (SAN MARCO PIAZZA)•💗 All photos locations are in or very close to the San Marco piazza #wheretogoinvenice #whattodoinvenice #factsaboutvenice #veniceinstagramspots #wheretotakephotosinvenice #veniceguide #discovervenice #explorevenice #myvenice #lifeinvenice #wheninvenice #venicegram #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #2023travelwish #bucketlistreboot
