The Bell Tower, or Campanile di San Marco, is a remarkable Venetian landmark located in St. Mark’s Square. Standing at 98.6 meters tall, this iconic structure offers breathtaking panoramic views of Venice and beyond. Furthermore, it holds great historical significance, dating back to the 9th century.
Originally serving as a watchtower, the Bell Tower has undergone several reconstructions. In 1902, it tragically collapsed, but was meticulously rebuilt to replicate its original design. Today, it showcases classic Venetian architecture, making it an unmissable attraction for visitors.
One of the tower’s highlights is the massive bronze bell, known as the “Marangona,” which chimes daily. Moreover, the tower is adorned with beautiful sculptures, such as the gilded statue of Archangel Gabriel that crowns its peak.
A visit to the Bell Tower is incomplete without an ascent to its summit. Luckily, a modern elevator whisks visitors to the top, where they can savor stunning views of the city’s winding canals, historic buildings, and surrounding islands. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience Venice from above – add the Bell Tower to your travel itinerary today.
