BARCELONA, Spain. Gràcia

Campanar de Gràcia (Bell Tower of Gràcia) or Torre del Rellotge (Clock Tower), designed by the architect Antoni Rovira i Trias (1816-1889), built in 1864 in the Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia. It was restored in 1882. It is 33 meters high. The clock machinery, with four spheres, was built by the Swiss watchmaker Albert Billeter (1815-1894) the forerunner of electric clocks in Spain. Topping off the structure, there is a large bell by Isidre Pallarès.
