Found it thanks to lockhopper's photo. Another place I didn't recognize at first!  But I didn't know the name of the tower and the story behind it, and thanks to the clue, now I do. Another case of "the solution explains the clue".   |

ANSWER This is the Torre del Mangia, in Siena Italy.
"Literally meaning ‘Tower of the Eater’, the name refers to its first bellringer, Giovanni di Balduccio, nicknamed Mangiaguadagni (‘eat-the-profits’, or, ‘profit eater’)" (Wikipedia) |
