The Clock Tower, located in the parish of Castelo Branco, is an inescapable element of the landscape of the city, visible from various places.
Its origin is linked to the process of expansion of the city and, consequently, to the extension of the limits of the Wall, since its location coincides with an old tower of the outer wall, adapted to the present functions during the nineteenth century.
The constant visual presence in the daily life of the albicastrenses and the characteristic hourly touches are an indispensable companion not only for the inhabitants of the Historic Zone of the City, but for all the residents of the city or of the visitors who, when beating of the bells of the bells, easily leave transport to times gone by and, surely, more nostalgic.
