As Venice's landmark, it has been favored by tourists, photographers and even pigeons, and has been praised by Napoleon as the most beautiful living room in Europe . The square is surrounded by a delicate circle of medieval to Renaissance buildings, including St. Mark's Church, St. Mark Bell Tower, Governor's House, Mint, New and Old Parliament Building, Corell Museum and St. Mark's Library. Today it has become a tourist attraction for tourists from all over the world.
