San Marco with the city symbol, winged lion – Most of the European cities have a city centre, the open space surrounded by important public buildings as a hangout place for the people. That is San Marco for Venezia. Napolean called this place the “drawing room of Europe”. There is the bell tower that rings for daily shifts of workers, the St. mark’s basilica with golden mosaics, the Bridge of Sighs offering the last view of Venice for the convicted.
