Urban's Tower
Urbanova veža
A free-standing bell tower beside the cathedral, begun in the 14th century. Old gravestones are set into its outer walls, and a café occupies the arcaded ground floor.
Urban's Tower is the free-standing bell tower of the cathedral. It takes its name from the bell of St. Urban, patron saint of wine growers, which hangs inside. The tower suffered several fires and was rebuilt after the fire of 1966. Dozens of gravestones moved from the old cemetery are set into its outer walls. The arcaded ground floor houses a café and small shops, and the tower sometimes hosts exhibitions. You can admire the exterior free of charge. It is one of the landmark photo spots on the main street.
