More high in the origins with three more floors, has a square plant and used as a civic tower because at the top of it was the senatory bell made in 1379 and udible in any part of the city. His ring called not only the faithful but also the citizen anytime the senatory palace and the sicilian parlament had a counsil. The watch on the second floor has a white marble ring representing a sun with numbers and bronze needles who signed any hours expecially 2:00 am, when the citizen cannot walked on street anymore. On side of the watch, the aralds of palermitan senate and the Chiaamonte's family. On present day high was reduced in 1595 due to fluctuations caused by strong wind and for heaviness of the bell.
