The Basilica di san Marco and Doge's Palace are reputed to be the No. 1 attractions in Venice, both found at Piazza San Marco. (Saint Mark's Square). We arrived after fighting our way through the crowded narrow streets to find the basilica had scaffolding around part of it, and the crowds were even worse in the square. We didn't go inside either building. A selection of photos though.

St Mark's Square is over on the left where the mass of people are beneath the bell tower. The domes of the basilica are behind the huge Doge's Palace on the water front.
