Venice ,Italy - 27.04.2012 : The oldest of the Procuratie buildings, Procuratie Vecchie is built on north side of the square. Procuratie Vecchie was build as a two-storey structure in the twelfth century, to house the offices and apartments of the procurators of San Marco. The Procuratie are three connected buildings on St Marks Square in Venice. They are also connected to St Marks Clocktower. They were rebuilt after a fire in the sixteenth century to a three-storey design by Codussi which still betrays something of its Gothic roots.
Piazza San Marco (often known in English as St Mark Square), is the principal public square of Venice, Italy, where it is generally known just as the Piazza. All other urban spaces in the city (except the Piazzetta and the Piazzale Roma) are called campi (fields). The Piazzetta (the little Piazza) is an extension of the Piazza towards the lagoon in its south east corner (See plan). The two spaces together form the social, religious and political centre of Venice and are commonly considered together. Photo by: Primoz Jeroncic
