Guarcino. Bell Tower of St. Michael

Alongside the church of San Michael in Guarcino there is a special type of belltower with bell.

This refers to the two-dimensional tower with a 'flat bell', just like the sail of a boat, that was typical of the 13th century.

This is one of the few examples left in the Lazio region as most of these bell towers have been destroyed or modified in successive ages.
