Across the grand canal, the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute, a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. Its massive white dome and decorative "volutes" (the spiral scrolls supporting the dome) serve as a symbolic gateway to the city.

Venice 2025:
St Mark's Campanile (Campanile di San Marco), the iconic bell tower of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice.
The Tower Structure: The image highlights the tower's simple, fluted brick shaft, punctuated by small, arched windows that lead the eye upward toward the more ornate belfry.
The Belfry and Loggia: The top section features an open loggia with white Istrian stone arches, which houses the tower's five bells. Above this, a decorative brick section features the Lion of Saint Mark and justice figures in relief.
The Spire: The tower is capped with a pyramidal spire topped by a golden weather vane in the shape of the Archangel Gabriel.
In the bottom right corner, a portion of the Biblioteca Marciana (St. Mark's Library) is visible, showing its ornate Renaissance roofline and statues.
The Campanile is one of the most recognizable symbols of Venice. While it looks ancient, the current structure is a faithful reconstruction completed in 1912 after the original tower unexpectedly collapsed in 1902.In the bottom right corner, a portion of the Biblioteca Marciana (St. Mark's Library) is visible, showing its ornate Renaissance roofline and statues.
