Hiking
The Bell and Drum Towers are visibly prominent constructions and represent the symbol of this old city. They were built in 1272 and rebuilt twice after two fires.
The Bell Tower was placed on a 4 meters stone and brick base and has a total height of 46.7 meters. Originally there was one big drum and 24 smaller ones, but only the big remains today.

Hiking
They sound the drums hourly during the day and you can watch them and listen, although not at 12pm when I was there.
The steps are impressive but very steep so just make your you plan that in!
