One of the main landmarks of Venice, the Campanile stands in the heart of the city, on the Piazetta, almost in front of the Basilica. The first one had been built in the 10th century and was used as a lighthouse as well as a watchtower. It collapsed in 1388, 1489, and in 1511... The last colapse dates back from 1902. Ten years were necessary to build this one, almost similar at the former one.
