Orciano di Pesaro can be recognized from afar by two towers. One of the sights of Orciano is the 40 meter high Torre Civica with the bell tower, whose clock strikes every quarter, half and three quarters of an hour, as well as the whole hour. The extraordinary dial has only one hand. So many visitors think that the clock is broken. At second glance you can see six Roman numerals on the sheet and in the inner wreath line divisions for quarters, half and three quarters, the dots indicate the full hours.
