Witness a 400-year-old tradition! ✨
Every January 6th and on Ascension Day, the Torre dell'Orologio in Venice's iconic Piazza San Marco comes alive with a unique spectacle — mechanical statues of the Three Wise Men and an angel with a trumpet emerge to parade in front of the Madonna and Child, reenacting a ritual that dates back to the 16th century.
This iconic landmark, a Renaissance masterpiece built between 1496-99 and beautifully expanded in 1506 and 1757, boasts stunning architecture, and serves as the grand entrance to Merceria dell'Orologio, one of Venice's most famous shopping streets.
