The Column of San Marco is made of marble and granite and is located at the entrance to St Mark's Square towards the pier and basin of San Marco. It is crowned by the statue of St Mark the Evangelist (one of the patron saints of the city), depicted in the traditional shape of a lion. The statue is also a popular vantage point for the seagulls of the lagoon. The Tower of St Mark (Campanile di San Marco) is the campanile (bell tower) of St Mark's Basilica in Venice. Its height is 98.6 metres, making it the tallest building in Venice. Originally, its spire served as a lighthouse for ships.
