This tall bell tower is part of the “Santa Maria e San Donato” church, the main church on the island, located in Campo Santo Stefano, the central square in Murano more »

A striking clock tower that looks over the main square of Murano. Certainly an icon for this island. Sadly no access to the top. more »

While we didn't go to the top of the tower (wished we had known you could) we enjoyed the piazza below and the glass tree. Beautiful clock tower! Beautiful tall glass tree! more »

Discover the island of Murano with its world famous glass production and ... just when you least expect it you see the clock tower in Campo Santo Stefano with a beautiful work of art made of glass, the comet. The "torricella" would be built on the foundations of the ancient Bell Tower of the Church of San Stefano and finalized on 21 August 1890. The clock was installed on 7 January 1891. The style "medievalizzante" della torre (non grata at all at the time of its erection to be "little Venice") seems to be inspired by the embattled of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, and that of Eats, in Siena. But precisely this peculiarity characterizes it and makes it immediately recognizable, moreover, has become a reference point for even more unique glass work that was placed at the base. Obviously if you are around the island is worth a visit and why not a photo!

Alla scoperta dell'isola di Murano con la sua produzione vetraria famosa in tutto il mondo e ... proprio quando meno te lo aspetti scorgi la Torre dell'Orologio in Campo Santo Stefano con alla base una stupenda opera d'arte in vetro, La Cometa. La “torricella” sarebbe sorta sulle fondamenta dell’antico campanile della pieve di San Stefano e ultimata il 21 agosto 1890. L’orologio venne posto in opera il 7 giugno 1891. Lo stile “medievalizzante” della torre ( non gradita a tutti al tempo della sua erezione per essere “poco veneziana” ) sembra ispirarsi a quella merlata di Palazzo Vecchio, a Firenze, e a quella Del Mangia, a Siena. Ma proprio questa sua particolarità la caratterizza e la rende immediatamente riconoscibile, oltretutto è divenuto punto di riferimento per la ancor più particolarissima opera in vetro che vi è stata collocata alla base. Ovviamente se si è in giro per l'isola merita una sosta e perchè no, una foto!
