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

Built in the 9th century, San Marco's 99-metre-high campanile served as a lighthouse for navigators and as a wind indicator thanks to its weathervane depicting the Archangel Gabriel. At its base is an ingenious system for measuring tides and warning of flooding. After the tower collapsed in 1902, it was rebuilt, slightly enlarged, using salvaged materials. Of the five original bells, only the Marangona, the largest, remains. Today, the bell tower is a symbol of Venice's history and resilience.

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.
