| Lions Little square | |||
|
It is to the left of the Basilica of St. Mark and it takes its name from the two red marble lions | ||
| carved in 1722. The square is raised for allowing the harvest of the water, and the fund is closed by the Patriarchal Building, in neoclassic style realized on a project of Lawrence Santi (1837-1870), while the north side looks on to St. Basso's Church, and it shows a beautiful side prospectus of Baldassarre Longhena (1676). Today the church is deconsecrated and it houses expositions. | |||
