The bell tower

The particularity of the bell tower is its considerable height and the limited width of its base: just five meters. In addition, the structure marries mixed construction techniques: the lower part with a square base, in solid brick masonry; the upper one, with an octagonal base, is made of lighter perforated bricks. Each side is punctuated by round-shaped windows and four dials of the clock. Also the spire is made of cast iron and surmounted by an angel of the Apocalypse who plays the trumpet.

The construction details of the Santa Zita bell tower are extremely peculiar
