Cabildo de Humahuaca

The Cabildo de Humahuaca features a clock tower with carved wooden details and showcases neoclassical architecture with Moorish design elements throughout its structure.

Built in 1942 to replace the original adobe structure from colonial times, this building served as the center of local government and administrative activities.

The building houses exhibitions that document the indigenous heritage and colonial history of the Quebrada de Humahuaca region through artifacts and photographs.

Located in Plaza Gómez, visitors can access the building daily and climb the staircase leading to the Independence Monument for views of the surrounding area.

At noon, a mechanical figure of San Francisco Solano emerges from the clock tower, operated by an intricate system of gears weighing 1800 kilograms.
