Find a spot in the middle of the piazza and look beack towards the Ala Napoleonica featuring the Museo Correr. Turn 90° to your right and you will be looking at the long wing of the Procuratie Vecchie, originally occupied by the Procurators of St. Mark, the highest officials of the Venetian Republic. Rotate another quarter-turn and you will be facing the stunning St. Mark’s Basilica, a grandiose and magnificent hodgepodge of Byzantin Domes, mosaics and plundered treasure from the Near East and Asia.
