El Fadrí

El Fadrí, also known as the Fadri Tower, is a standing alone bell-tower of the Gothic procathedral Castelló Cathedral of Castellón de la Plana, Spain. It was built in the 15th century, commencing in 1440 and completed in 1604.[1] It is an octagonal building, about 58 metres (190 ft) high. It was built in Valencian Gothic style. A discontinuous spiral staircase gives access to the clock chamber, the clergyman's cell, the bell ringer's home, and the bell chamber. [2]
