St. Marks Square, Piazza San Marco Venice Italy Crystal Collectible Gifts
Piazza San Marco, often known in English as St Mark's Square, is the principal
square of Venice. It is the only urban space called a piazza in Venice; the
others, regardless of size, are called campi. The Piazza originated in the 9th
century as a small area in front of the original Saint Mark's Basilica. It was
enlarged to its present size and shape in 1177, when the Rio Batario, which
had bounded it to the west, and a dock, which had isolated the Doge's Palace
from the square, were filled in. The rearrangement was for the meeting of Pope
Alexander III and the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. The Piazza has always
been seen as the center of Venice. It was the location of all the important
offices of the Venetian state, and has been the seat of the archbishopric since
the 19th century. It was also the focus for many of Venice's festivals. It is a
greatly popular place in Italy even today. These crystal St. Marks collectible
decor and wedding gifts are 3 x 3 x 3 inches.
