google maps - How can i capture the click event when a default marker/place is clicked on googlemaps?

Question

I am working with Google Maps API V3. The googlemaps displays markers for some places/location by default, I need to capture the click event when one of them is clicked..

I have tried to use the click event of the map but it not works because the user is clicking the marker not the map, code is given:

google.maps.event.addListener(mymap, 'click', function () {
  alert('clicked');
});

Can someone give me an idea how to do it?

EDIT: I can find no suitable Event in the available Events, which can help me!

Please note that I am not talking about the custom Markers (Created by User), these are default markers, googlemaps displays them by default.

Here's a clean solution straight from Google: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/event-poi

You can easily customize the default infowindow for POI's. Just ignore the route-making feature of the tutorial.
