The design for the slender tower with its little round dome is distinctly northern-Italian in character. The design for it was drawn by Huyssens and retouched by Rubens. The sculptural storeys of this tower, accentuated in post-Michelangelesque style, were enriched in an original way with motifs from Venetian and Lombard Renaissance architecture.
