Campanile di San Marco

The Campanile di San Marco, or St. Mark's Campanile, is the bell tower of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy. Standing at about 98.6 meters (323 feet), it was originally built in the 9th century but underwent several reconstructions, most notably after a collapse in 1902. The tower offers stunning panoramic views of Venice and its lagoon, making it a popular attraction. It features a simple, brick design topped with a spire and a statue of the Archangel Gabriel. The Campanile is an iconic symbol of the city and plays a significant role in Venice's rich architectural heritage.
