Campanile

This tower can claim to have been built twice as it was originally constructed in the 10thC but spontaneously fell down on 14th July 1902 and was rebuilt using all the same bricks. You can see the cracks in the loggia statues and façade down below as one man painstakingly put this part back together after the collapse. For a fee you can climb to the top of the bell tower to absorb the incredible view over Venice and the lagoon. You can also call your mum to tell her where you are. Supposedly the tower has the highest public payphone in Italy.
