The Camapanile – Bell Tower – rises 325 feet – 99 metres – above the Piazza, making it the tallest building in Venice. The original tower collapsed in 1902, fortunately killing no one apart from the custodian’s cat. The mayor decided to rebuild it “exactly where it was, how it was”. You can enter through the loggetta base, built in 16th century by Jacopo Sansovino, which had to be restored after the tower collapsed. You can take a lift to the top, where you can enjoy a unique panoramic of the city, lagoon, and on a clear day, the Alps.
