The Campanile of St. Mark's Square in Venice stands as a towering symbol of the city's architectural grandeur. Originally constructed in the 10th century and later adorned with its distinctive pointed roof and gilded pinnacle in the 15th century, it served as a beacon for approaching ships navigating the lagoon. Despite collapsing in 1902, it was meticulously rebuilt to its original 98.6-meter height by 1912, along with the restoration of the Loggetta at its base, a marble loggia built by Sansovino in the 16th century.
Historically, the campanile had dual roles: besides its architectural significance, it served as a pillory in the Middle Ages, where wrongdoers faced punishment in a cage hoisted halfway up the tower. Today, visitors can ascend via an elevator to enjoy panoramic views across Venice and the lagoon from its platform.
