If Venice is a top tourist attraction, San Marco is the top attraction within Venice. Like Venice itself, San Marco is vulnerable to rising waters regularly covering its square.
And then, the square opens itself up to you, with the bell tower on your left and the basilica on the right. As the sun goes down, the light on the basilica grows more intense and warmer, giving it a fabulous glow. This certainly looks different from most other churches in Italy, this is a Byzantine church, reminder of the close ties Venice had with the East Roman Empire. Destroyed twice before, the church as it is now was started in 1063 and serves as Venice's cathedral since the 12th century.
