St Mark's Campanile

There are pretty much two ‘birds eye’ viewing spots in Venice - being the Basilica San Marco Clock Tower; and the roof top terrace of ‘T Fondaco Dei Tedeschi’ (a department store by the Rialto bridge). You need to book ahead for both - which we did.So we set off for the Clock Tower first thing and after a short wait, went up (~100 m). The view provided a terrific perspective of Venice - its red terracotta rooftop tiles, and the various islands to the south and east. A good start to the day

The San Marco Bell Tower in Venice stands on the square of San Marco. This high-rise bell tower was built in the late 15th century and is the city coordinates of 1 Venice. (Figure 2), queue up to enter the bell tower buy tickets, the view is wide after the top, this is a great place to take a panoramic view of San Marco Square and Venice. • Will five clocks be at the hour? There is another story about this clock tower: the great Galileo was showing his telescope to the Governor of Venice in this clock tower. At that time, it took a long time to climb the slope to go up the clock tower, but now, There is an elevator to the clock tower. From the top of the clock tower, you can enjoy the whole view of Venice, and even overlook the Alps. If the weather is good, you can see Croatia on the other side of the Adriatic Sea.
