Designed at the end of the 15th century by Mauro Codussi, it stands like a triumphal arch in Piazza San Marco, marking the entrance to the city’s crucial commercial street, the ancient Merceria.
With its large astronomical Clock, a masterpiece of technique and engineering, the Tower is an indispensable element of Venice’s very image and has marked, for five hundred years, the city’s life, history, and the continuous passage of time.
The visit route allows you to closely observe the complex clock mechanisms and step out onto the terraces from which you can enjoy a splendid view of Piazza San Marco and the entire city.
