Torre del Rellotge, Barcelona, Clock tower at Port Vell, Barcelona, Spain
The Torre del Rellotge stands as a pyramidal stone structure with a plinth base at the Moll dels Pescadors in Barcelona's port district.
Engineer Jorge Próspero de Verboom designed this Mediterranean maritime beacon in 1772, which served as Barcelona's first port lighthouse until 1904.
The structure represents the maritime heritage of Barceloneta neighborhood, marking the historical connection between the city and its seafaring traditions.
Visitors can view the clock tower from multiple locations around Port Vell, with the Maremagnum shopping center offering clear perspectives of the structure.
The tower served as a geodesic measurement point for scientist Pierre François André Méchain during the development of the metric system.
