Giotto's Campanile was a free standing bell-tower built between 1334 and 1359; initially under the watch of Giotto di Bondone, and then his successors. One of the tallest structures in Florence, the Campanile accompanied the Santa Maria del Fiore, providing an impressive view of the city of Florence, and beyond, housing up to seven seperate bells at one point. By 1476, the upper levels of the campanile had been emptied for renovation.
Each windowed floor of the campanile is spaced a distinctly seperate distance from the former, so as to give the impression from the ground that all are equal.
