The construction of the northern tower, which doubled as a watchtower (63 m), was completed towards the end of the 14th century. It had a cone-shaped steeple and figural mural on its face wall. A 1591 historical source specifies the schedule of the tower master and his two assistants: they were to blow the horn on the hour, welcome important visitors with fanfares, and watch the town to protect it from fire and enemies. The last tower master left the tower in 1924 when the job position was cancelled.
The tower was opened to the public in June 1991 as part of the celebration of the 555th anniversary of the acceptance of the Basil Council's Conventions.
