At the end of the thirteenth century Orvieto had a new urban structure and placed in a strategically central position the palace of the Seven with the tower called the Pope, 47 meters high and almost perfectly oriented according to the four cardinal points. Its imposing dimensions allowed. In fact, the visual domination of the vast territory of the Orvietano state, which extended to the west to the sea, to the east to the Preappenninic chain and to the north to the Cetona and Amiata mountains. In the 16th century the tower was named after Raffaele di Sante, known as il Moro, who also gave its name to the underlying Gualtiero palace it owned, and to the entire district. In 1865, at the height of eighteen meters, the distributing tank of the new aqueduct was placed in the tower of the Moor and, following the restoration of 1866, the mechanical clock and two civic bells were installed. The smallest bell came from the tower of Sant'Andrea and the largest from the Palazzo del Popolo. The palace of the Seven with the tower of the Moor, recently restored and used as a cultural center, belonged to the ancient Della Terza family, then was owned by the Papacy, seat of the Sette, and it seems that Antonio da Sangallo also lived there.
