The clocktower was built in 1547 in Piazza Tre Martiri, replacing the ancient "beccherie" (public butcher's), and reconstructed in 1759 by Giovan Francesco Buonamici. In 1875, the top of the tower was ruined due to an [[earthquake]], and it was restored in 1933. The [[clock]], which dates back to 1562, overlooks a perpetual calendar assembled in 1750, decorated by [[terracotta]] panels depicting zodiacal signs, months and lunar phases. The central, blind arch of the porch houses the memorial of the victims of [[World War II]].
