Bomarzo. Bell tower of the cathedral

In Bomarzo, the bell tower of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, in Romanesque style with a succession of mullioned windows, was built with blocks of peperino on a previous structure of Etruscan origin. The tower is equipped with a clock.

Note a Roman plaque depicting a man and a woman and which can be found between the structure of the bell tower. In the Middle Ages various materials of Roman origin were frequently reused in the construction of churches and palaces.
