We purchased a timed ticket for the old clock tower on the internet, it wasn't easy. The tower overlooks the main square, basilica & Neptune Fountain. It was built in 1250 and has continuously worked.
We climbed about 100 steps up, midway we signed a release that we wouldn't throw anything over or cause any damage. The steps towards the top were very narrow my big feet had to walk up sideways. My tall husband walked up hunched over, it was about 5'2" high. The views from the top were impressive we were able to see all of downtown it was a clear beautiful day. read more
