Torre del Campano, Tower of the Bell, Via Cavalca, Pisa

Torre del Campano (Tower of the Bell)
Via Cavalca
Pisa, May 2013

“The most famous medieval building on Via Calvalca is the Torre dei Caciaioli, now known as Torre del Campano (from the bell that in the late 18th century summoned students to lectures at the university). This is a tall square building with pilasters culminating in a pointed arch in the western front, with smaller pointed arches on the other facades.” (Campano Tower and other medieval buildings, Comune di Pisa)
