St Mark's Campanile (Campanile di San Marco in Italian) is the bell tower
of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy, located in the Piazza San Marco.
It is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city.
The tower is 98.6 metres (323 ft) tall, and stands alone in a corner of St
Mark's Square, near the front of the basilica. It has a simple form, the
bulk of which is a fluted brick square shaft, 12 metres (39 ft) wide on
each side and 50 metres (160 ft) tall, above which is a loggia
surrounding the belfry, housing five bells. The belfry is topped by a
cube, alternate faces of which show the Lion of St. Mark and the female
representation of Venice (la Giustizia: Justice). The tower is capped by
a pyramidal spire, at the top of which sits a golden weathervane in the
form of the archangel Gabriel. The campanile reached its present form
in 1514. The current tower was reconstructed in its present form in 1912
after the collapse of 1902.
