Campanile di San Marco - a photo on Flickriver

            Campanile di San Marco
(St Mark's Campanile)

Located in Saint Mark's Square, Venice's former governmental centre, the campanile was initially built as a watch tower to sight approaching ships and protect the entry to the city. It also served as a landmark to guide Venetian ships safely into harbour. Begun in the early tenth century, the tower was slowly raised in height and acquired a belfry and a spire in the twelfth century. In the fourteenth century the spire was gilded, making the tower visible to distant ships in the Adriatic. The campanile reached its present height of 98.6 metres (323 ft) in 1514 when the belfry and spire were completely rebuilt on the basis of an earlier design by Giorgio Spavento.
