Tours - Tour de l'Horloge

This is the second tower, that still exists of that large Collegiate Church of Saint Martin (see the previous uplods for the "Tour Charlemagne"). Once one of the two towers flanking the facade, it was named Tour du Tresor and dates back to the 12th century.

After the Revolution, when the vandalized and pilaged church got demolished, the tower got equipped with a public clock - and so got a new name.
