You can buy tickets on the spot, but you can enjoy priority admission when you buy tickets in advance. The direct elevator climbs to the top and has a small view of the mountains. It is great."Venice.Venice City Center2 km from downtownObservation DecksNighttime sightseeing
No.6 of Best Things to Do in VeniceHighlights: The Bell Tower of San Marco belongs to the Basilica of San Marco. As the beacon of the city on the lagoon, the Bell Tower has long been regarded by the Venetians as an indisputable landmark of Venice, and its status in Venice is even more than the Basilica of San Marco itself. The predecessor of St. Mark's Bell Tower was a watchtower built in the 9th century, which was later converted into a bell tower. In the centuries that followed, the Campanile of San Marco was damaged several times and underwent several reconstructions and renovations. Now it has become a tourist attraction for tourists from all over the world. Standing on St. Mark's Square, you can take pictures with the clock tower. The Bell Tower of San Marco is 98.6 meters high, with a brick red exterior and a simple structure. The lower half is a huge columnar building composed of bricks, each side is 12 meters long and 50 meters high. Above is the vaulted bell tower, where five clocks were previously placed. These five clocks have unique functions. Three-thirty (MezzaTerza) announces the meeting of the Senate, noon clock (Nona) heralds the arrival of noon, the workers clock (Marangona) marks the beginning and end of the working day, and the horseshoe clock (Trottiera) calls the House of Representatives. (MaggiorConsiglio) members participate in Parliament. In the past, the bells of the bell tower would ring all over Venice, but now only the workers' bell is left here. Above the arched bell tower is a square building, the outer walls are decorated with lions and Venetian justice women.To prevent corrosion from the sun and rain, the entire statue is wrapped in a thin gilded copper sheet.
