Bell Tower
The Bell Tower (46.45 m), completed in the year 1608, is a smaller scale copy of San Marco Campanile in Venice, thus confirming that it was built during a period of Venetian influence in Piran.
Among other newer bells, there is also a bell from the 15th century.
During the summer months, you may climb the tower and admire the view of the entire Slovenian and Croatian Istria's nearby area, as well as the Italian coast, from Trieste to Duino, and from Tarvisio to Grado; on days of high northern winds, you can even see the Julian Alps and Dolomites.
