18th century tower. It stands on the Market gate, which belonged to the first walled enclosure. It is square in plan, and according to legend, wine was used to make the mortar, which was more abundant than water in the city. The structure therefore has three bodies: the arch that gives access to the square, the chapel, and the clock and finally, the bell tower, topped with a dome.
