The Torre dell Orologio on St Marks Square (Piazza San Marco) is of huge importance, both practical, historical and symbolic in the story of Venice. The clock (alternatively known as St Marks Clocktower or the Moors Clocktower) displays the time of day, the dominant sign of Zodiac and the current phase of the moon. Above the clock is a representation of the Lion of San Marco, symbolising the power and wisdom of the ruling fathers of the Republic. |
