Clock Tower (Torre dell'Orologio)Entering Venice's Piazza San Marco, the clock tower is one of
the first things to be seen, towering above the Procuratie Vecchie
(the ancient administration buildings of the Republic). Built in
1496, the clock mechanism of that same period still keeps perfect
time. The two bronze figures, known as 'Moors' because of their
dark colour, pivot to strike the hour. Address: San Marco, Piazza San Marco Opening Time: Open daily from 9am to 3.30pm Admission: Adults: EUR12 |
