Overview
This Renaissance clock is set on a platform 35 meters (115 feet) high with four staircases to access the interior. Each entrance is adorned with an English Empire ornamental frieze. The four quadrants of the clock were built in English opal and above each quadrant are five bronze bells. Atop the tower is an octagonal dome that is covered with layered copper. A weather vane that represents an Elizabethan three-mast ship crowns the peak.
