39 St. Mark’s Clock Tower Features in Venice, Italy

The Torre dell’Orologio was built on Saint Mark’s Square in 1499. The major features of this St. Mark’s Clock Tower are (from the top) the bell that is rung by two bronze figures, the winged lion of Venice, followed by an arched niche with a statue of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child. On either side are blue numbers representing the hour and minutes. The most prominent feature is the astronomical clock. Finally, off camera, is a large arch that leads to Merceria street.
