The Tower dates back to the middle age and point to the north. It was used as a surveillance tower and known has the Pope Tower, because the territory of Orvieto was under papal control. The name changed lately in Moorish Tower because the city suffered from Moors attacks. In the 19th century the structure was turned into a belfry, and a clock dial was mounted in it.
