Torre Civica, Belfry in Piazza della Libertà, Macerata, Italy
The Torre Civica rises 64 meters above Piazza della Libertà, featuring a monumental clock face and architectural elements from different periods.
Construction of the tower began in 1492 under Matteo d'Ancona's direction and continued through the mid-16th century with designs by military architect Galasso Alghisi.
The tower's astronomical clock displays lunar phases and planetary movements, demonstrating the Renaissance period's advanced understanding of celestial mechanics.
Visitors can access the tower's observation deck, which provides views extending from the Sibillini mountains to the Adriatic Sea across the Marche region.
The mechanical carousel of the Magi performs twice daily at noon and 6 PM, presenting automated figures moving across the clock face.
