Torre de la Catedral de Murcia, Bell tower at Cathedral of Santa María, Murcia, Spain
The Torre de la Catedral rises 93 meters into the sky, making it the third tallest bell tower in Spain and a central landmark of Murcia.
Construction of this Renaissance and Baroque tower started in 1521 with Florentine architects Francisco and Jacobo Torni, reaching completion in 1793 under Ventura Rodriguez's direction.
The tower contains twenty-one bells, with the oldest bell named Mora dating back to the 14th century, marking time and events for generations.
Visitors can access the tower through guided tours, climbing to different platforms that provide views across Murcia and the surrounding region.
The tower's construction halted due to inclination problems after the second body, resuming only in 1765 when architectural solutions were developed.
