Piazza San Marco
Piazza San Marco or St Mark's Square is the principal public square of Venice, 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 is an extension of the Piazza towards the lagoon in its south east corner. The two spaces together form the social, religious and political centre of Venice and are commonly considered together.
Rialto Area
Rialto is the oldest inhabited center of Venice. It is part of the districts of San Marco and San Polo. The area is known for the market and the bridge of the same name. The origin of the name derives from the Latin rivus altus, which means very deep channel, in reference to the current Grand Canal, whose banks constitute the Rialto Islands.
