👉 A campanile is a type of ornamental tower or bell tower, typically located at the top of a church or other building. These towers are often used to commemorate important events or to serve as altars for religious figures. Campanile often refers to an Italian style of architecture that emphasizes symmetry and proportion in its design, with each tower having a unique shape and height. The term "campanile" is derived from the Latin word "capilla," which means "small chapel."
