Sitting high above one of Venice’s most famous squares, the 15th-century St. Mark’s Clock Tower has marked the time in the city for over 500 years. Its blue-and-gold dial and bronze bell-striking Moors statues draw visitors for photos. Inside, a narrow staircase leads past the intricate clock mechanism to a rooftop terrace, offering panoramic views of the city. The tower’s rich history and architectural details provide a unique glimpse into Venice’s past and present.
