Torre Alemana, Clock tower in University Park, Lima, Peru.
The Torre Alemana rises 29 meters high at the intersection of Abancay and Nicolás de Piérola avenues in Lima's historic center.
The German community presented this clock tower to Lima in 1921 to mark the centennial celebration of Peru's independence from Spain.
The clock mechanism plays the first stanza of the Peruvian National Anthem twice daily, at noon and six in the evening.
The tower functions as a central meeting point within University Park, which remains open to visitors from 9:00 AM until 6:00 PM daily.
Hamburg architect Friedrich Jordan Barkholtz designed this brick structure, while engineering firm Dunkelberg and Pellry executed the construction plans.
