Activity itinerary

Piazza San Marco
  • 30m
Heart of the Venetian state, the square has always followed the life and customs of the city. The Doge's Palace was the seat of the government and the supreme magistrates of the republic, as well as a prison. Capital executions took place between the two columns of Marco and Teodoro, while the laws and decrees were announced from the Pietra del Bando, then posted on the Porta della Carta. The Basilica was instead the centre of state religious ceremonies thanks to the presence of precious relics and its function as a ducal chapel, in a system in which the Doge was head of the Venetian church and reserved the right to appoint bishops. The power and wealth of the church of San Marco were such that it had its own bishop, distinct from that of the city and from the patriarch, the Primicerio, and that special magistrates the Procurators of San Marco administered its patrimony with life, residing in the Procuratie .
Basilica di San Marco (Pass by)

Marco, it houses an important collection of ancient sculptures, including some notable Greek originals; there are also ceramics, bronzes, gems and coins, as well as the archaeological collection left in deposit by the Correr Civic Museum, which also includes some Egyptian and Assyrian-Babylonian antiquities. Due to its own formation, it has a strong collecting character, made up as it is by the works collected since the 16th century, by important Venetian families.
Procuratie nuove - ex Palazzo reale (Pass by)
