The present paper focuses on the marble architectural members inserted into the bell-tower of Vatopedi monastery. Their study enriches our knowledge about the sculpted decoration especially in the middle and late Byzantine period; moreover, an aspect of the nature and organization of the marble decoration in a non-ecclesiastical Athonite building, erected just a few years after the Ottoman Occupation of Mount Athos, is provided. Additionally, the reused spolia render some enquires about their provenance necessary; this question remains open and only hypotheses can be expressed
