Monumental Clock of Pachuca, Monument in Pachuca, Mexico
The 40-meter-tall Monumental Clock stands in Independence Plaza, featuring four levels with white Tezoantla quarry stone and neoclassical architectural elements.
Construction of the clock began in 1904 and finished in 1910 to commemorate the centennial of Mexican Independence under President Porfirio Diaz administration.
Four female sculptures positioned on each side of the clock represent key moments in Mexican history: Independence, Liberty, Constitution, and Reform.
The clock mechanism rings bells every fifteen minutes and plays the Mexican National Anthem at 6:00 PM through its London-made Dent machinery.
The tower construction applied a specific joining technique without using limestone in the joints, while incorporating iron and copper from Monterrey Foundry.
