MoreThe Bell Tower of San Marco belongs to the Basilica of San Marco. As the beacon of the city on the lagoon, the Bell Tower has long been regarded by the Venetians as an indisputable landmark of Venice, and its status in Venice is even more than the Basilica of San Marco itself. The predecessor of St. Mark's Bell Tower was a watchtower built in the 9th century, which was later converted into a bell tower. In the centuries that followed, the Campanile of San Marco was damaged several times and underwent several reconstructions and renovations. Now it has become a tourist attraction for tourists from all over the world. Standing on St. Mark's Square, you can take pictures with the clock tower. The Bell Tower of San Marco is 98.6 meters high, with a brick red exterior and a simple structure. The lower half is a huge columnar building composed of bricks, each side is 12 meters long and 50 meters high. Above is the vaulted bell tower, where five clocks were previously placed. These five clocks have unique functions. Three-thirty (MezzaTerza) announces the meeting of the Senate, noon clock (Nona) heralds the arrival of noon, the workers clock (Marangona) marks the beginning and end of the working day, and the horseshoe clock (Trottiera) calls the House of Representatives. (MaggiorConsiglio) members participate in Parliament. In the past, the bells of the bell tower would ring all over Venice, but now only the workers' bell is left here. Above the arched bell tower is a square building, the outer walls are decorated with lions and Venetian justice women.To prevent corrosion from the sun and rain, the entire statue is wrapped in a thin gilded copper sheet.

Before coming to Venice, there was not much feeling, just knowing a little history and strength of Venice. I really felt this shock and greatness in my immersion. I am afraid that the name of St. Mark is far from just religious connotations.
close to my hometown, the city I went to university...with its wonderful Campanile in San Marco square. lovely place!
The Campanile is, perhaps, Venice's most iconic structure. It is also the tallest building in Venice and visible from almost everywhere. Visitors can take an elevator to the top (for 8 euros) and get a panoramic view over the city. The price of the lift has gone up over the years, but the view is well worth the cost. Lines move quickly, but it's worth it to get there early, as there is almost always a crowd.
When everyone is fighting to go up the bell tower in St Marks Square, come here and be the only one in line for a magnificent view.
The view from the top on sunny days is absolutely worth the queue!
It is surely the most famous monument in Venezia and one of the most famous of Italy. Together with the Basilica of San Marco and Piazza San Marco it is the very heart of Venice. It was built around IX Century and then damaged in different periods. At the beginning of 1900 it falled down and was then rebuilt.
