Venice's main square, ringed by St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the 98.6-metre campanile and the Procuratie. Café Florian — the oldest working café in the world, opened in 1720 — sits under the arcades. The square suffers acqua alta but remains what Napoleon called the drawing room of Europe.
