Tour de l'Horloge, Medieval watchtower in Avallon, France.
The Clock Tower rises 49 meters at the highest point of Avallon, featuring an arch called Porte de la Boucherie at its foundation.
Built in 1456 by architect Jehan Berg, this fortified tower served as a lookout post for invaders following the Hundred Years War.
The first floor of the tower contains a 15th-century fireplace and Louis XIII style decorations, representing French architectural heritage.
The tower houses a 230-kilogram bell installed in 1460, which continues to ring the hours for the residents of Avallon.
The city coat of arms carved on the facade displays a silver tower on a blue background with the motto 'Esto nobis Domine turris fortitudinis'.
