Torre dell'Orologio, Renaissance clock tower in Piazza della Loggia, Brescia, Italy.
The Torre dell'Orologio features two copper automata on its upper section that strike a bronze bell to mark the passing hours.
The tower, constructed between 1540 and 1550 under architect Lodovico Beretta's direction, replaced an earlier timekeeping structure in the square.
The clock face displays not only time but includes intricate astronomical features showing moon phases and zodiac positions throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the tower by taking the Metro to Vittoria station, located 290 meters from Piazza della Loggia.
The clock mechanism, calibrated before the Gregorian calendar reform, marks the spring equinox on March 11 instead of March 21.
