Close-ups until the clock is the original, while the side facing east is still visible the ancient gateway, built at a decent ground clearance.

In a small niche carved into the thickness of the escarpment, they are bricked two terracotta tiles with the words “1766 – MAIL”. Interesting it is the various stones travertine recycled masonry.
