A magnificent tower with an astronomical clock. That's how it translates to Clock Tower. This is one of the decorations of the already incredible St. Mark's Square. On the facade there is an excellent image of a winged lion (it is a symbol of both Venice and St. Mark) on a rich cobalt background with golden stars. More windows are visible. They open twice a year on special holidays. And the figures of the Magi move from one door to the other every hour. The whole city is going to see it. There are bronze moors at the top of the clock tower, who ring the bell every hour. This is also a pleasant ritual.
