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.
A Byzantine jewel in a Roman Catholic country, San Marco is in several respects a special place. The water that runs around Venice and threatens its future, often also comes right on the doorstep of the San Marco basilica. Walking along the waterfront of Venice, the bell tower of San Marco rises up from a distance, a clear marker for the Venetian skyline. The crowds increase rapidly the closer you get to the famous square - a map is not needed here. There were still provisory and movable walkways on the streets as the square had been inundated days before.
