IT: Le antiche mura di Porcìa contavano 7 torri più il maschio, delle quali rimangono solo quella dell’orologio e il maschio, (che oggi è il campanile del duomo, ma questa è un’altra storia). La torre dell’orologio, oltre che da difesa, fungeva anche da porta d’ingresso ed era fornita di ponte levatoio. Era dotata di campanella che suonava in caso di avvistamento di nemici e conserva ancora il meccanismo dell’orologio al secondo piano. La cache si trova presso i resti del fossato, portatevi una penna e….buona caccia. EN: The ancient walls of Porcia had 7 towers than the keep, of which there remain only the clock tower and the keep (which is now the bell tower of the cathedral, but that's another story). The clock tower, used also as a defense tower, was the entrance door and was provided with a drawbridge. It was equipped with a bell that sounded in case of enemy attack and the clock mechanism is still on the second floor. The cache is located at the remains of the moat, bring a pen and….good hunting.
