On top of the tower of the old townhall 23 bells make a perfect chime with a total repertoire of 88 melodies, and the melodies are changing according to the times of the year or special festivities.
You may hear the melody made by the chimes daily at fixed times :
10.30 a.m. + 02.00 p.m. + 07.25 p.m. + 09.00 p.m.
and in addition each saturday at 03.30p.m. !
