Clock Tower

The Clock Tower of Usseglio is truly one of Italy's hidden gems. It stands at 73 feet tall and watch over the Piedmont countryside. It is situated in the hamlet of Usseglio and is one of the main landmarks of the area. The clock tower was built in the 13th century and is part of a group of ancient buildings in the village. It has an unusual conical shaped roof and a bell tower, and it's still ticking away more than 700 years after it was built. The village itself is worth visiting for its medieval cobbled streets and the many ancient frescoes and monuments it hosts, making it a great place for photographers to explore for the day.
