- 13 years ago
Take a tour of Modica Clock Tower in Modica, Italy - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Rising above the city of Modica, Italy is a stately antique clock tower.
Modica is divided into three sections: Upper Modica on the rocky incline, Lower Modica in the valley and the suburbs of Modern Modica.
The tower stands on a high peak, adjoining a beautiful stone structure, overlooking the ancient city.
The clock device is the same one used in 1725 and has to be manually wound the old fashioned way.
The well preserved tower represents the predominant late Baroque style architecture of the city below.
Even over a busy landscape honeycombed with ruins, the tower is a dominant feature and icon of this town.
