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.

Magnifique vue
Magnifique vue sur toute la ville et l'île/basilique San Giorgio Maggiore. Pour le prix de 8€ on monte en ascenseur. C'est vraiment à ne pas manquer surtout quand il fait beau

Un peu cher mais pas mal à faire. La vue de là-haut est sympa, bien qu'il n'y ait pas beaucoup d'autres hauts bâtiments à admirer.

Situé sur la place Saint Marc, le campanile offre une vue imprenable sur le tout Venise . L'accès est cependant un peu cher.
