Set in the center of the central campus is this 110-foot-high campanile. The historic precedent for its design was set in Venetian Gothic architecture. At the corner of its four-sided spire roof are Gothic pinnacles; below are three elongated Gothic-style openings. The entrances at its base are also Gothic, but as one finds especially in Italian examples, the Gothic has an Islamic tinge to it.
