Clock Tower, Clock tower in Plaza Arturo Prat, Iquique, Chile
The Clock Tower displays four faces with two bells, a smaller one for quarter-hours and a larger one for marking each hour.
Built in 1878 during Peruvian administration, the Clock Tower survived the devastating fire of 1880 that destroyed much of central Iquique.
The tower incorporates Gothic and Islamic architectural elements, with pointed arches and Mudéjar influences reflecting the multicultural heritage of Iquique.
The Clock Tower stands in the center of Plaza Arturo Prat, marking time for visitors and residents with its mechanism imported from England.
Soldiers from the Pisagua battalion moved the entire Oregon pine structure to its current location in 1889 under Mayor Ramon Yabar's direction.
