A
Piazza del Duomo
The 60m campanile houses the world's largest astronomical clock, built in Strasbourg in 1733. The clock strikes at noon, setting in motion a slow-moving procession of bronze automata that have various historical and allegorical meanings (pick up the brochure from the tourist office for an explanation of each one) - watch out for the comical roaring lion and crowing cockerel.

Torre Pisano
From Cortile di San Martino (Courtyard of St Martin) you can climb up Torre Pisano, from where there are fabulous views - at least when the fog, an enduring element of Enna's weather, has lifted.

Torre di Federico II
Secret passageways once led to the octagonal Torre di Federico II, which now stands in the Enna's public garden; once part of the town's old defence system, it stands nearly 24m high.
