What To Expect

Piazza San Marco
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 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 .
