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.

Vue imprenable sur Venise et sa lagune. Ce campanile est un emblème de la ville et grimper tout en haut représente une expérience inédite ! Attention cependant à la longue file d'attente et au tarif assez élevé.

A l'arrivée sur la place on découvre ce campanile plus important que les autres de la ville. Sa position à l'extrémité du grand canal permet de son sommet une vue panoramique magnifique sur la ville et la lagune Difficile d accès en week end

Cette tour vous permez d'avoir une grande vue de Venise, de sa lagune et de ses monuments. Montez-y lorsqu'il fait beau car vous serez déçus sinon.
Le tarif est un peu cher mais la visite le coup pour la vue. Cette visite vous prendra tout au plus une vingtaine de minutes.

This 99m tower is one of the symbols of Venice. If you have the time, you can queue to go up to the summit, where you will enjoy a 360 ° view on Venice and its lagoon. The price is a little expensive however, since the visit is very fast (about €: 10 minutes)

Very beautiful view of the square, the lagoon and the basilica; that allows us to realise " the organisation" city.
The price is a little expensive
