This is one of the easiest of our models to build. The model needs little gluing, still you may wish to pause between different stages when you come to it, 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.

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

A FEW LINES ABOUT THIS LANDMARK
St Mark's Campanile is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy, located in the Piazza San Marco. The tower is 98.6 metres (323 ft) tall, and stands alone in a corner of St Mark's Square, near the front of the basilica. It has a simple form, the bulk of which is a fluted brick square shaft, 12 metres (39 ft) wide on each side and 50 metres (160 ft) tall, above which is a loggia surrounding the belfry, housing five bells. The belfry is topped by a cube, alternate faces of which show the Lion of St. Mark and the female representation of Venice. The tower is capped by a pyramidal spire, at the top of which sits a golden weathervane in the form of the archangel Gabriel. The campanile reached its present form in 1514. The current tower was reconstructed in its present form in 1912 after the collapse of 1902.
