St. Mark’s Campanile
As one of the tallest structures in the city, St. Mark’s
Campanile (Campanile di San Marco) is one of
Venice’s most recognizable symbols. From here the
visitor has an incredible view of the city and lagoon
as well as the Italian Alps in the distance.
The 323 ft. (98.6 m) bell tower stands alone in the
corner of St. Mark’s Square, near the front entrance
to the basilica. The brick structure is 39 ft. (12 m)
wide on each side and 160 ft. (50 m) tall, upon which
sits a belfry housing five bells. A spire caps the tower
with a golden weather vane on top.
Though the design of the Campanile is from the
16th century, the tower itself was completely rebuilt
in 1912 after the original one collapsed in 1902. The
inauguration of the new tower occurred exactly 1000
years after the foundation of the original tower was
laid.
