St Mark's Campanile
Overlooking the city's famous lagoon, St Mark's Campanile is one of the Venice's most recognizable symbols. Originally constructed as a lighthouse, this 99 m (323 ft) tall bell tower stands alone in one corner of St. Mark's Square. The tower's simple form has a fluted brick shaft topped by a belfry housing five bells. A pyramidal spire with a golden weathervane in the form of the archangel Gabriel caps the tower. Constructed in the ninth century on ancient Roman foundations, the bell tower underwent a massive reconstruction after a sudden collapse in 1902. Once the site of Galileo's observatory, the tower now features an elevator for easy access to the top and views of the lagoon and distant Alps.

The 360 degree views from the top are fantastic, we went up on a bright sunny day and could see clear to The Alps. Might not be so good with dull weather. As Venice is so quiet at the moment we only..... more »

The benefit of visiting Venice during the pandemic was the minimal queues for attractions. We waited less than 10 minutes for the elevator ride to the top and there were limited numbers of people... more »

This is the tower in St marks Square which you can go up by list. Entrance was 10 euro and well worth it for the views over Venice and the islands. Only 4 people were allowed up and down in the list..... more »

Be careful of when the bells will go off (unfortunately I was standing right beside one when they decided to chime many times). It is just an awe inspiring place.Great view over entire Venice. Definitely must go here when you visit Venice. It is the highest possible point and you can take some awesome pictures. Also due to the height, there is a very chilling wind blowing.

You must get a look from every side to really see Venice. It is beautiful at sunset. Be careful of when the bells will go off (unfortunately I was standing right beside one when they decided to chime many times).Also due to the height, there is a very chilling wind blowing. This is very nice if you have been running arround the city in the hot sun all day.

Also due to the height, there is a very chilling wind blowing. This is very nice if you have been running arround the city in the hot sun all day. Fast lane access not needed y the line has never exceeded a few people. If you buy a fast lane ticket, you are only allowed to enter the tower on the specific time frame, given on your ticket.

Breathtaking! My husband wanted to go up but I didn't want to pay the money (8euro each). I was also concerned about the climb. When we got inside it is a completely modern elevator for about 15 people. As the doors opened I was instantly glad we went up there. It was breathtaking to see 360 degrees of Venice like that! WARNING: the bells chime and it is loud! So maybe ask the attendant when they will next chime. Seriously I literally jumped! The whole lot of us had our fingers in our ears! I think there should be a warning on the walls up there. Enjoy! It's definitely worth the money!
