Tour Florentine d'Aulnoye-Aymeries, Railway signal tower in Leval, France.
The Florentine Tower stands 50 meters tall, constructed with reinforced concrete and cast iron, featuring four large clocks at its summit.
Built in 1922 by architects Raoul Dautry and Gustave Umbdenstock, this signal control tower served the railway depot of Aulnoye-Aymeries station.
The tower incorporates ceramic decorations and architectural elements that represent the industrial heritage of northern France's railway infrastructure.
Located in the ZAE La Florentine industrial zone, the tower contains multiple levels including a cable arrival hall, storage areas, and a control room.
The structure bears preserved bullet impacts from World War II, which were intentionally kept during the restoration as historical evidence.
