'''San Marco''' is one of the six [[sestiere (Venice)|sestieri]] of [[Venice]], lying in the heart of the city. San Marco also includes the island of [[San Giorgio Maggiore]]. Although the district includes [[Piazza San Marco|Saint Mark's Square]], that was never administered as part of the sestiere.
The small district includes many of Venice's most famous sights, including St Mark's Square, [[Saint Mark's Basilica]], the [[Doge's Palace]], [[Harry's Bar]], the [[Palazzo Dandolo]], [[San Moisè]], the [[La Fenice]] [[theatre]], the [[Palazzo Grassi]] and the [[church]]es of [[San Beneto]], [[San Fantin]], [[Santa Maria Zobenigo|Santa Maria del Giglio]], [[San Maurizio]], [[San Moisè]], [[Santo Stefano di Venezia|Santo Stefano]], [[San Salvador di Venezia|San Salvador]], [[San Zulian]] and [[San Samuele]].
The area is densely built and was the location of Venice's government. It is now heavily [[tourist]]ed and is home to many [[hotel]]s, [[bank]]s and expensive [[Retailing#Shops and stores|shops]].
