REBECCAC84: One of those strange glyphs Shaun mentioned is on this landmark. You should go find it!
First built in the 7th Century, San Pietro di Castello was the seat of the Bishop of Venice. Notice how far away San Pietro di Castello is from the Palazzo Ducale? That distance is not accidental, the Venetian Doges wanted to remain independent from the church.
Although San Pietro di Castello itself is nothing remarkable, the tower is the first to be cloaked in Istrian stone from the quarries outside Venice, the same white stone that covers the Palazzo Ducale.
