Torre dell'Orologio (Clock Tower) (Padova)

Italy / Veneto / Padova
 clock tower, interesting place

The tower was built in 1428. The facade was rebuilt stone by in 1532. One of the first public clocks in Italy. Of the astronomic signs on the clock face, Libra is missing, presumably an insult to those who failed to pay the builder the amount he thought was due.
