Here's where the tower is located:

The dials of the clock were made based on the knowledge of the cosmos dictated by the geocentric theories of the astronomer Ptolemy. The date scale of the clock bears witness to the validity of the Julian calendar at the time of construction, with the spring equinox being represented on March 11 and not the 21st. The ten days of delay accumulated over the centuries were recovered in 1582 with the Gregorian reform of the calendar.
