Here is where the basilica is located:

At the top are the statues, some over 5.7 m high, of Jesus, John the Baptist and eleven of the twelve apostles (Saint Peter is missing). On the sides of the same are two clocks made in 1785 by Giuseppe Valadier, the clock on the left, called Oltremontano, indicates the real time, the one based on the time zone, while the one on the right, called Italian, indicates the solar Italic time with the count starting at sunset of each day and the completion of the twenty-fourth hour at the following sunset; furthermore, another difference, the one on the left has the two classic hands of the hours and minutes while the one on the right has a single hand.
