St. Mark’s Square reopens in Venice, but water remains high 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy the Associated PressTourists and residents have been allowed back into St. Mark’s Square in Venice, a day after it was closed due to exceptionally high tidal waters that swept through most of the lagoon city’s already devastated center. Despite sunny skies, the city remained on edge Saturday due to possibly more wind-propelled high tidal waters during the weekend. By late Saturday morning, water was rising again in St. Mark’s Square and the forecast for Sunday was worse. Late Tuesday, water levels in Venice reached 1.87 meters (6 feet, 1 inch) above sea level, the highest flooding since 1966.
