A remarkable bell tower in Venice, both a lighthouse for sailors and an indicator of the wind direction.

Built in the 9th century, the 99-meter high campanile of Saint Mark's served as a lighthouse for navigators and as an indicator of the direction of the wind thanks to its weathervane representing the archangel Gabriel. You should know that at the base of this sculptural square brick tower is a system that calculates the tide and prevents the risk of flooding. It should also be noted that after the collapse of the bell tower in 1902, it was decided to rebuild this Venetian symbol with the recovered materials. Of the five original bells, only the most powerful, the Marangona, remained.

Pour une vue du cœur de la place Saint-Marc et des toits de Venise, c'est sans soute le meilleur endroit.
Cependant pour une meilleure vue de toute la lagune, je vous conseille le campanile de l'île de San Giorgio maggiore, vue incomparable et tout simplement magnifique.

Cette haute construction en briques avec de belles proportions est superbement implante à l angle de la place Saint Marc car elle complémente à merveille la vue de la basilique de l autre extrémité de la place .

Pour la vue
L'intérêt de ce monument est d'avoir une vue en hauteur de la place mais si vous avez déjà été en haut de la basilique, ça ne vaut pas le coup.

Monter au sommet du campanile est incontournable pour avoir une vue sur les toits de Venise et une vision différente
