Which square in Venice is home to St. Mark's Basilica and the Campanile?

The square in Venice home to St. Mark's Basilica and the Campanile is Piazza San Marco.

Often called St. Mark's Square in English, Piazza San Marco is Venice's principal public square and the city's historic religious, political, and social centre. St. Mark's Basilica dominates its eastern end, while the tall Campanile di San Marco stands nearby as the square's famous bell tower.

The square grew in importance after Venetians brought relics believed to belong to St. Mark from Alexandria in 828–829, making him the city's patron saint. Its surrounding buildings include the Doge's Palace, the Procuratie arcades, St. Mark's Clocktower, and the Caffè Florian, which opened in 1720.

A common mix-up is the Piazzetta San Marco, the adjoining smaller space leading toward the lagoon. The Campanile collapsed on 14 July 1902 and was rebuilt in 1912, following the Venetian principle “as it was, where it was.”
