 | Venice Campanile and its Views Reviews | 1 - 10 of 154 |  |
At the seam place of Piazzetta and Piazza San Marco, towers, that 98,6 m high Campanile.
The Bell Tower, Venice's know nest landmark, faces exactly the basilica.
Already in the 9th century, there was here, a belfry.
The design for the present-day form, with spire and gilt angels, comes from the year 1514.
In July of the year 1902, the entire tower fell, suddenly, in itself together.
To the luck, became, besides Sensovinos Loggetta, no building damages.
One built the tower and composed the Loggetta again.
An elevator drives up to the platform that releases splendid gazes over the city and the lagoon until to the Alps. Leave a Comment Address: Piazza San Marco, VeniceDirections: Vaporetto 1 Station: San Marco

... in Venice is the campanile di San Marco. The tower, 96,8 meters high, was inizially built during the 800 secolo. 1912 it was rebuilt as it is today.
More important might be the amazing view you get from the top. The elevator cost 6 euro, but it's definately worth it, as long as the line isn't too long... I waited for 10 minutes, and that was no problem.
From the top you can see all over Venice, in all four directions. It might be a good idea to buy a "guide-phone" on the ground-floor, to understand more what it is that you're looking for.
However, I decided to save some money, stay without the guide-phone - and I was pleased anyway. It suppose it depends on how much you really want to know, and how sure you are about that you haven't forgot everything in the same minute you go down again...
Amazing view anyway, but make sure to plan the time. Otherwise you might get stuck in the line to get into the elevator... It might be a lot of people up, so don't go up if you're in a hurry. Leave a Comment Address: Piazza San MarcoDirections: Follow the signs all over town.

Built in the 9th century, it once served as a watchtower and lighthouse protecting the city from enemy fleets.
It reached the present appearance ( 99m high ) in 1514 by Bartolomeo Bon.
On July 14, 1902 the structure collapsed as if it was demolished by implosion.
The present structure, built in 1912 is an exact replica.
Venetians used to call it "El Paron de Casa" ( the lord of the house )
Inside the bell tower there are 5 large cast iron bells. Each bell has a name wich recall its purpose:
La Marangona announced the beginning and end of the work day;
La Trottiera called magistrates to meetings in the Palazzo Ducale;
La Nona rang for the mid-day;
The Pregadi announced meetings of the Senate;
The Renghiera or Maleficio rang as a signal that a capital execution was to take place.
Climbing up the Tower gives us a wonderful birds-eye view of the city. Leave a Comment

The view from the Campanile in St. Mark's Square offers some stunning views of the city. You can observe the many cupolas of San Marco and others. You can look out onto the shining Adriatic Sea. Also there are some really neat perspectives of Piazza San Marco that are worth going to the top!!

Well, the first thing I noticed approaching Venice was the tall and mighty Campanile.
First constructed in the 12th century, the Campanile had to be rebuilt as it collapsed in 1902.
Apparently the second version is shorter than the original one, but includes a lift to an observation deck, for which you have to pay 8 euros and wait in line a while for.
Since we had limited time, we didn't go up the deck. However, it's known to be the most popular place for capturing beautiful pictures of Venice. Leave a Comment Address: Piazza San Marco, Venezia

You can hardly miss the bell tower that goes with the Basilica di San Marco, it's one of the landmarks of the piazza. The original one collapsed in 1902 after standing for centuries, and legend has it that the golden angel on top landed right on her feet on the ground, which of course all the Venetians took as a good sign if not a miracle. It was also a good sign that no one was killed in the collapse. This one is an exact replica of the original, with the original angel.
There are five bells, which used to signal different things to the citizens in centuries past. Taking the elevator to the top for great views is very popular and there's often a line - I'd recommend going to the bell tower on the tiny island of San Giorgio Maggiore instead.

The Campanile is 98,60 meters high and it is the most highest campanile in Venice. There is elevator which will lead you at the top for 6 EUROS. The view from the top is amazing. It is the best to go earlier in the morning to escape the crowd.

This is the Camponile Tower, rebuilt in 1902 after it collapsed,thankfully they had a lift installed in 1962.it costs 6 euros to go up,opens at 09.30 til dusk and was well worth it.The views are wonderful,these photos were taken early morning.
(For more pictures from up the tower see my Venice travelogue). Leave a Comment Address: St.Marks Square

The Campanile was constructed sometime in the 10th century with alterations made in the 12th and 16th centuries. Check out the weather vane on the top which features a statuette of the Archangel Gabriel. Interestingly the entire tower collapsed without warning in 1902. What you see today is an exact replica of the original which took 10 years to build.
Fact: The Campanile on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley is modeled after the one in the Piazza San Marco.
Related Tip: In order to miss having to stand in a long queue for the elevator and having to jockey for position once you are up at the observation level, go to the Campanile either first thing in the morning or shortly before it closes. Leave a Comment Address: Piazza San Marco
