St. Mark's Campanile
Venice, Italy
The Campanile di San Marco, or St. Mark's Bell Tower, stands prominently in St. Mark's Square in Venice. This iconic symbol of the city reaches a height of 98.6 meters and was originally constructed in the 12th century. The tower offers panoramic views of the city and the Venetian lagoon. Its current form dates back to 1912 after its collapse in 1902 and subsequent reconstruction. The grand architecture of the surrounding piazza complements the historical significance of this landmark.
