Clock Tower (Torre dell'Orologio)
Entering Venice's Piazza San Marco, the clock tower is one of
the first things to be seen, towering above the Procuratie Vecchie
(the ancient administration buildings of the Republic). Built in
1496, the clock mechanism of that same period still keeps perfect
time. The two bronze figures, known as 'Moors' because of their
dark colour, pivot to strike the hour.

Admission
Language
The official language of Italy is Italian. English is
understood in the larger cities but not in the more remote parts of
the country.
Money
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into
100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain
Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are
widespread. Travellers cheques can be exchanged with ease in the
large cities, not so in the smaller towns. Credit cards are
accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities.
Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than
casas de cambios.
Opening Times
Open daily from 9am to 3.30pm
