St. Mark’ s Bell Tower captured from three different angles/places.
The Tower is certainly one of the symbols of Venice. “El Paron de Casa” meaning “The Master of the House” is its nickname. It is the highest building of the city; from the top of its 98.50 meters it is possible to enjoy a 360° view of the city. Sadly we didn’t find time to do that.
Searching for some information on this iconic structure I found out that the present building only dates from 1902. However, the original building was put up in 1173, was enlarged and restored several times and finally collapsed. Some of its present foundations still belong to the original building from 1173.
Many thanks for your views, comments and fav's on yesterday's picture.
