Clock Tower

View on map

This tower and its clock are the emblem of Fuentidueña, together with its castle and iron bridge. The building is from the 19th century and harbours the town clock, the mechanism of which is one of the oldest in the Madrid Region. It is a French Dupont clock from 1896 with faces on two sides of the tower. It has to be wound every day as the bell’s winding lasts 24 hours, while the clock’s winding lasts 5 days. 

The tower has an original structure that forms an archway opening onto Calle Mayor, an

View of Fuentidueña’s emblem, beneath whose arch Calle Mayor passes and into which the Town Hall building is integrated. It is built of gypsum stone and is topped with a wrought-iron railing and a kind of hood protecting the bell.
