Giotto's Campanile, located in Florence, Italy, is an iconic free-standing bell tower that forms part of the complex of buildings that make up the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Designed by the renowned artist Giotto di Bondone, its construction began in 1334 and was later completed by Andrea Pisano and Francesco Talenti. The tower stands approximately 84.7 meters (277.9 feet) tall and is celebrated for its stunning Gothic architecture and intricate decorative elements. Clad in polychrome marble similar to the cathedral itself, the campanile features a series of sculptural reliefs and statues that embellish its exterior.
