Clock Tower

Hours go by

17a Via de' Filippini
Rome, Rome 00186

This clock tower, with its alternately concave and convex sides, was designed and built by Borromini in the first half of the 17th century. It was placed at the top of the monastery of the Oratorio of San Filippo Neri. The structure is in wrought iron, and below the clock there is a lovely mosaic of the Madonna della Vallicella that was designed by Pietro da Cortona. The original clockwork mechanism is conserved in the Museum of Rome.
