Located in the heart of the village of Marta, on the southern shore of Lake Bolsena, the Clock Tower is one of the main historical and tourist attractions of the area. This medieval tower, which stands majestically in the historic center, is not only a symbol of the city, but also a witness to centuries of history, art and local traditions. The Clock Tower stands imposingly at 21 meters high. Its structure is characterized by a truncated pyramid base with a square plan and an octagonal body that culminates with a small octagonal tower about 2.5 meters high, where the clock bells are located. This clock, installed in 1575 during the Farnese domination, is one of the distinctive elements of the tower. Originally, the tower was part of the Rocca, a medieval fortification that has seen numerous restorations and alterations due to the turbulent historical events of the village. The tower has survived various modifications and reconstructions, and today represents one of the most fascinating testimonies of Marta's past. (c) https://www.visittuscia.eu/torre-orologio-marta/

The old town hall of Marta (VT), composed of two distinct and adjacent buildings, was demolished in 1926 and the current one was built in its place, completed in 1929 as can be read in the architrave of the central window on the first floor. The project was drawn up by the engineer Daniele Manini while the facade was designed by the architect Fasolo, reported to the mayor by Corrado Ricci, general director of Fine Arts. Above the door is set the travertine coat of arms of Pope Paul III Farnese, previously placed on the facade of the old town hall and recovered during the demolition works. During the renovation, the ancient "Porta grande della Strada della Marta" that led into the historic center was modified and was replaced by the current portico. The stone arch that surrounded it is today clearly visible in a building at no. 141 of via Laertina. In the council chamber there is a valuable large painting by Wolf Voight that depicts, synthetically, the feast of the Madonna del Monte. Under the portico of the town hall (which the Martani call Le Porte) there is, on the left, a large work in wood and plaster in bas-relief painted by Alberto Morucci, inaugurated in the early 90s, which also depicts the feast of the Madonna del Monte. To the right and left of the town hall we find Palazzo Ciotti and Palazzo Tarquini, both from the 1500s. (c) https://www.meteomarta.altervista.org/portale/il-municipio-di-marta

The Rocca Farnese, located in Tuscia, is an imposing 16th-century structure built around a medieval tower, which dominates the historic center of Ischia di Castro. The palace, unfinished for centuries, was recently restored by the new owner, bringing to light ancient forms and a walled Renaissance loggia. Originally built in the 13th century as a fortress, it was transformed into a palace in the 16th century, perhaps designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger. It was the residence of the Farnese, lords of the Duchy of Castro, and, after the end of the duchy in 1649, it passed to the Apostolic Chamber and various families.
