MODEL BUILDING TIPS

This model will require more than one sitting to build it. We advise to pause between different stages as you work, especially when you come to gluing. The white glue softens the paper and it may lead to misshapen parts if you do not allow them to dry well before proceeding further with assembling. Click here to watch our paper model building tips.

Give yourself enough time to enjoy the process and achieve the best result!

ABOUT THIS LANDMARK

St Mark's Campanile, standing majestically in the Piazza San Marco, is a defining symbol of Venice, Italy. This impressive bell tower, an integral part of the renowned St Mark's Basilica, was initially constructed in the 9th century. Its dominant presence in the city's skyline is a testament to Venice's long and storied history.

Over the centuries, the Campanile underwent various reconstructions and modifications. The structure that stands today, soaring to a height of 98.6 meters, is actually a reconstruction dating back to 1912. This was necessitated following its dramatic collapse in 1902, which left the tower in ruins.

The design of St Mark's Campanile is characterized by its simple yet striking features. A fluted brick square shaft leads up to a belfry that houses five distinct bells, each historically used for different purposes in Venetian life. Topping the tower is a pyramid-shaped spire adorned with a golden weathervane in the form of the archangel Gabriel. Visitors who ascend to the tower's summit are rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the Venetian lagoon, encapsulating both the beauty and the rich architectural legacy of Venice.
