Clock & Bells

San Giacomo di Rialto Church (Italian: Chiesa di San Giacomo di Rialto). It has a large 15th-century clock above the entrance, a useful item in the Venetian business district but regarded as a standing joke for its inaccuracy. A part of the Rialto Bridge can be seen to the right.
According to tradition, San Giacomo is the oldest church in the city, supposedly consecrated in the year 421. Although documents exist mentioning the area but not the church in 1097, the first document citing the church dates from 1152. The church was rebuilt in 1071.

Venice is a unique artistic achievement. The city is built on 118 small islands. Venice also has one of the highest concentrations of great monuments such as Piazza San Marco with the cathedral and Palazzo Ducale.
It was from Venice that Marco Polo (1254-1324) set out in search of China, Sumatra, India and Persia.
The occurrence of exceptional high waters poses nowadays a significant threat to the protection and integrity of Venice lagoon and historic settlements.
