Clock towers

NOTES: Barry's design for the Houses of Parliament did not originally include a clock tower. He was asked to include one and his first designs were added in 1836. Construction began in 1843 but the tower (the Elizabeth Tower) and its clock and great bell (Big Ben) were finished in 1859.

NOTES: The Albert Memorial Clock Tower was built in 1864 by Edward Arthur Heffer, with sculpture by Edwin Stirling.

NOTES: The Palazzo Pubblico was completed in 1310 and the Torre del Mangia was designed by Francesco and Minuccio di Rinaldo and added in 1348 .
