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.

A faire au moins une fois dans sa vie, la vue est magnifique quelle que soit la météo. Fermé en cas de vents forts. Un peu cher.

Arriver tôt pour éviter la file d’attente. La vue est sublime mais attention au vent pendant l’hiver! Ne laissez pas la hauteur vous decourager, la tour est équipée d’un ascenseur.

Vue magnifique et panoramique sur Venise et ses alentours à 180 degrés. Beaucoup de belles photos à faire par temps clair. D'en haut, on comprend pourquoi Venise est une ville musée.
Un peu d'attente pour accéder à l'ascenseur et monter en haut du campanile.
Une visite s'impose.

Magnifique vue depuis le sommet du Campanile que l'on atteint en ascenseur. La vue s'étend sur toute la lagune avec la place Saint Marc en premier plan.

Visite à faire lorsque l'on est à Venise. La vue du haut du campanile sur Venise et la lagune est fantastique. Le prix est un peu cher pour la durée de la visite.
A ne pas manquer.
