Images of Venice - St. Mark's Clock
St. Mark's Clock is the clock housed in the St. Mark's Clocktower, on St. Mark's Square in Venice, adjoining the Procuratie Vecchie.
Construction of the tower started in 1496, and by December 1497 the great bell had been completed by Simone Camponato and installed on the top, with the two bronze figures of shepherds, each 2.5m high, who hit the bell with hammers. These figures are referred to as Moors because of the dark colour of the bronze patina.
The dial was a concentric-ring astronomical clock similar to the Padua clock of 1434.
