Torro dell' Orologio

It was built in the early 13th century and used to serve as the city gate guard tower, prison, clock tower, city life and citizen memorial center.

Don't miss the time-lapse performance, a fine calendar clock, the golden chickens chirp, dolls show, and the tall bell tower of the small copper bells to call the time, become a scene in Bern.

To the left of the Basilica of San Marco in Torredell’Orologio is the clock tower, which reads in Latin inscription: "I only count happy times." Two prominent bronze statues covered with dark green rust are Moors. Legend has it that the Venetians blinded the clock makers of the clock tower to prevent them from creating the same works for rival cities. The movie "Space City" was filmed here. The bronze man on the right seemed to be broken and didn't move much when the bell was ringing. The flying lion below is a symbol of Venice and can be seen in many places.

When standing in the square you will definitely notice this clock tower, it is in the middle of the white building, right on the edge. Close up and you will enjoy a variety of delightful sculptures and colours. You will get a better view from the balcony on the upper floor of the church.

We passed an arcade and came under the clock tower. There was a clock above and two statues beside it. It was one of the main entrances to the Plaza de San Marco. You can visit for a short visit, but the most worthwhile is the view of the Doge's Palace and the Church of St. Marcos.

It's a beautiful emblem of Venice which overlooks Piazza San Marco. This clock tells the time and also the stars...very simple to look at but actually very special!

One of my favorite landmarks in Venice, this clock tells not only the time, but the position of the sun within the Zodiac signs.

Simply a stunning clock, surrounded by iconic architecture.

The Clock Tower in Venice is an early Renaissance building on the north side of the Piazza San Marco at the entrance to the Merceria. It comprises a tower, which contains the clock, and lower buildings on each side.

The clock tower is next to the main square of St. Mark's Church, and it is characterized by a large bell on the front. I didn't go to the terrace, but saw many people standing on the terrace. I think the view from above is good, and I can see the square and even the church better. The clock tower adds a lot to this beautiful square.
