I wouldn't swear to it under oath or anything, but the Denver Clocktower might be my favorite place to take pictures in.. well, North America I suppose...

Wikipedia: This is one of Hamburg's five Lutheran main churches (Hauptkirchen) and one of the most famous churches in the city. St. Michaelis is a landmark of the city and it is considered to be one of the finest Hanseatic Protestant baroque churches. Several Churches have been built on this site but the current building dates from 1786 (although it was reconstructed in 1906 and after the war). The composer and pianist Johannes Brahms was baptized on May 26, 1833 in this church
Established in 1930, this fireproof storage warehouse had a unique feature, a clocktower to illuminate the sky.

Sheldon: December 25, 1642. Isaac Newton was born. Jesus, on the other hand, was not. His birthday was moved to coincide with the celebration of the winter solstice.
Leonard: Merry Newtonmas, everyone!
Sheldon: I can tell you're not being sincere, but I can't say why?

The preacher's sign says 'Believe on the the Lord...' - the more usual 'Believe in...' seemingly does not do the job here in Leicester if you want to be saved.

The masked figure in Neapolitan costume who strikes the hour on the clocktower is Pulcinella. The English Punch and Danish Mester Jakel both derive from the character Pulcinella in the Italian Commedia dell’Arte, a staged comedy going back to at least the 16th century. Pulcinella is normally presented as a Naples bumpkin named after the Italian for a young chicken due to his beaklike nose and disoriented stupidity. His basic characteristics are a mean, vicious temperament and a propensity to knock everyone – including his wife – around. These characteristics reappear of course in the English Punch version.
The Torre di Pulcinella has been standing in Montepulciano for several hundred years. Some claim it was erected by a bishop from Naples longing for and eager to share some of his hometown folklore.

Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo. The church was built in the 13th C but was badly damaged and largely rebuilt in 1755. Much of the clock tower is considered to be original however. The oversized clocks date from the 19th Century.

As was the nature of our trip to Tuscany, we never had very long in any one place. Siena was no different as we arrived at about 5pm and spent about two hours there. Whilst it was a great time to wander round the city and the light was great unfortunately the famous tower and most churches etc were already closed. I'd definitely like to go back some time and spend a few days there.

From Wikipedia : "The Torre del Mangia is a tower in Siena, in the Tuscany region of Italy. Built in 1338-1348, it is located in the Piazza del Campo, Siena's premier square, adjacent to the Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall). When built it was one of the tallest secular towers in medieval Italy. At 102 m, it is second tallest after Cremona's Torrazzo (112 m (367 ft)), the Asinelli tower in Bologna at 97 m being third.
The tower was built to be exactly the same height as the Siena Cathedral as a sign that the church and the state had equal amounts of power. Literally meaning "Tower of the Eater", the name refers to its first bellringer, Giovanni di Balduccio, nicknamed Mangiaguadagni ("Eat-the-profits", that is "Profit eater") either for his spendthrift tendency, idleness or gluttony."
