Santo Stefano Bell Tower

Step by step you will discover the political heart of the Serenissima: St Mark’s square Palazzo Ducale, St Mark’s Basilica, the Bell Tower, the Marciana library and the Procuratie. Later we will move away from Piazza San Marco and through the Mercerie you will reach the Castello district where the San Giovanni e Paolo Hospital (one of the extraordinary beauties of the fifteenth century), the Malibran theater and Campo Santa Maria Formosa are hidden. A walking tour of Venice will take you back into the heart of history . The Bell Tower is an ancient structure with European architecture that stands tall in the square's southeast corner. On top of the twelve-meter-wide square brick shaft is a white Istrian stone belfry with a balcony and a pyramidal spire, making the whole thing almost 100 meters tall. The bronze statue of Archangel Gabriel is at the top which can be explored with Venice tour.
