Tour Jacquemart, Fortified tower in Romans-sur-Isère, France.
The Jacquemart Tower stands 37 meters tall with four clock faces, serving as a central landmark in the medieval district of Romans-sur-Isère.
Built in 1174 as part of the first city wall, the tower functioned as a prison from 1344 to 1835 within the Montségur fortress complex.
The mechanical clock figure, installed in 1429, strikes the hours wearing different uniforms reflecting various periods of French history.
The tower interior contains a spiral staircase with 97 steps leading to an observation platform offering views across the city.
The tower houses one of France's largest Jacquemart automatons, measuring 2.60 meters, crafted from wood and covered in zinc.
