The square is a palimpsest, too. Here’s a quick timeline you can picture.

1600s view

Key Moments

  • 9th–11th c.: Church foundations and first piazza edges.
  • 12th–13th c.: Basilica expansion; domes silhouette the city.
  • 16th c.: Procuratie reshape the flanks; Campanile gains stature.
  • 1902: Campanile collapse and rebuild.
  • 20th–21st c.: Conservation, mass tourism, acqua alta defenses.

Bottom Line: San Marco is a living construction site of identity.
