Torre Morisca, Guayaquil, Clock tower at Malecón 2000, Guayaquil, Ecuador.
The Torre Morisca features four ascending cubic volumes crowned by a dome, reaching a height of 23 meters with an octagonal base.
The initial clock tower construction began in the mid-18th century by Jesuit members at the San Francisco Javier monastery before relocating multiple times across Guayaquil.
The tower combines Byzantine and Moorish architectural elements, reflecting the diverse influences in Ecuadorian architecture during the early 20th century.
The Torre Morisca welcomes visitors from Thursday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with the clock marking each hour through its restored mechanism.
In 1842, the House of Luzárraga provided funds to acquire an English-made clock that would later become the centerpiece of this architectural structure.
