Torre dell'Orologio di Padova

The Torre dell'Orologio di Padova (Bell Tower of Padua) is a major historical landmark in the city of Padova in northeastern Italy. This 158-foot-tall brick tower was built in the early 15th century and stands at the very heart of the Padovan city centre. The tower's main feature is a large, bell-shaped clock, which is still in operation and strikes the hours for the city. Visitors to the Torre dell'Orologio can enjoy panoramic views of the city from the upper levels of the tower. The area near the tower is also home to several beautiful churches and other noteworthy buildings, with the picturesque Piazza dei Signori square being located nearby.
