Pertaining to sec. XVII, the tower turns out planned from the architect of Elusone, the construction has been attributed to the Fanzago in collaboration with Giovanni Nauclerio Batiste. High 36 meters, have a base to clews riquadre and introduce two various architectonic orders (doric and corinzio). As a result of the earthquakes of the sec. XVII and XVIII, were restored in 1782. The tower, still today working represents the symbol of the city with its sounds every 15 minutes
