Located above the dungeon that shelters the Town Hall, the bell is covered by a beautiful piece of wrought iron work, performed "to perfection", in spite of the bell weight. This bell already existed in the 15^th Century, but it was recast twice, in 1443 and in 1637 and bears the following inscription : " Hora est jam de somno surgere", which means " it is time to wake up". Its mechanism is medieval.
