Campanile di Giotto (English: Giotto's Campanile) was a free standing bell-tower in Florence.
History
The tower was 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, and housing up to seven separate 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 separate distance from the former, so as to give the impression from the ground that all are equal.
Trivia
It is the highest view point (though not the tallest building) in Assassin's Creed II.
