What you'll see
A free-standing Gothic bell tower beside the cathedral, with about 230 steps up a narrow spiral to a platform looking over the city's rooftops and the river.
A brief history
It was built in the 1400s apart from the cathedral, so the bells' vibrations wouldn't shake the church; a gilded statue of the Virgin was added on top in the 1800s.
