A bell tower is a tower that contains one or more bells, or that is designed to hold bells, even if it has none. In the European tradition, such a tower most commonly serves as part of a church and contains church bells. In such cases the bell tower is located at the western end of the church. Modern bell towers often contain carillons.
The Italian term campanile (/ˌkæmpəˈniːliː/; Italian pronunciation: [kampaˈniːle]), deriving from the word 'campana' meaning bell, is synonymous with 'bell tower'; in English it tends to be used to refer to freestanding bell towers.
A bell tower may also be called a belfry, though this term may also refer to the substructure that houses the bells rather than the tower as a whole.
Old bell towers may be kept for their historic or iconic value, though in countries with a strong campanological tradition they often continue to serve their original purposes as well.
Bell towers are common in China and neighbouring countries, where they may appear both as part of a temple complex and as an independent civic building. The tallest free-standing bell tower in the world, approximately 110 m, is the Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower, located at the University of Birmingham, UK.
St. Mark's may refer to:
Mark the Evangelist (Latin: Mārcus; Greek: Μᾶρκος; Coptic: Μαρκοϲ; Hebrew: מרקוס) is the traditionally ascribed author of the Gospel of Mark. Mark is said to have founded the Church of Alexandria, one of the most important episcopal sees of Early Christianity. His feast day is celebrated on April 25, and his symbol is the winged lion.
According to William Lane (1974), an "unbroken tradition" identifies Mark the Evangelist with John Mark, and John Mark as the cousin of Barnabas. However, Hippolytus of Rome in On the Seventy Apostles distinguishes Mark the Evangelist (2 Tim 4:11), John Mark (Acts 12:12, 25; 13:5, 13; 15:37), and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (Col 4:10; Phlm 1:24). According to Hippolytus, they all belonged to the "Seventy Disciples" who were sent out by Jesus to saturate Judea with the gospel (Luke 10:1ff.). However, when Jesus explained that his flesh was "real food" and his blood was "real drink", many disciples left him (John 6:44–6:66), presumably including Mark. He was later restored to faith by the apostle Peter; he then became Peter’s interpreter, wrote the Gospel of Mark, founded the church of Africa, and became the bishop of Alexandria.

Costarainera danni gravissimi quelli provocati da un fulmine che nella tarda serata di ieri, sabato 26 febbraio, ha colpito il campanile della Chiesa di Sant’Antonio Abate a Costarainera, distruggendo in parte la loggia delle campane e scaraventando la campana rimasta tra le tombe dell'ex cimitero.

CAMPANILE DI SAN MARCO / St Mark's Campanile is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica, located in the Piazza San Marco. It is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city. 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. The campanile reached its present form in 1514. The current tower was reconstructed in its present form in 1912 after the collapse of 1902. May 21 & 24, 2013
Lines in your forehead, I can see
All your attention divert from me
What could possibly weigh on you so heavily
I can tell you really need some perspective here
Take one small step outside of yourself
The grass looks no greener right here
Take one small step outside of yourself and you’ll find
You’re not the only one
Weight on your shoulders, a tragedy
Is making you older in front of me
Oh, why can’t you see that you’re here in good company
I can see you really need some perspective here
And you’ve fallen out of love with yourself
Yah, well, we’re just all pillars of self-esteem
Take one small step outside of yourself and you’ll find
