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.

The remains of the Capitoline temple in Brescia

The remains of the Capitoline temple in Brescia.
A few months ago I was, for the second time in my life, in the beautiful city of Brescia and for the second time I went to visit the small park with the Roman remains right in the center.
Unlike last time, the park was open and so I was able to enter, for free, and walk among the remains.
Very fascinating!
