Reloj Monumental de Acaxochitlán, Clock tower monument in Acaxochitlán, Mexico.

The Monumental Clock stands 16 meters tall in the main plaza, featuring white and pink quarry stone from the Cuesconsen hill of Tlamimilolpa.

The clock acquisition occurred in 1928 during Lauro Melo's administration, funded through property taxes and local community contributions.

The Art Deco tower incorporates symmetrical vertical lines and minimalist decorations, reflecting the architectural preferences of early 1930s Mexico.

The structure contains three distinct sections: an entrance base, an extended middle portion, and an upper segment housing the clock mechanism and bells.

Four decorative lamps surround the tower in the plaza corners, each designed as miniature replicas of the main clock structure.

Location: Acaxochitlán (municipality)
