La Torre del Reloj, a building dating back to 1572, is situated in the Cimadevilla neighborhood of Gijón, Asturias, Spain. The tower was reconstructed in 1989 at the same location with the initial intention of it serving as a museum and a viewpoint over the city. However, it is not currently used for this purpose.
Reconstruction and Transformation of La Torre del Reloj
Between 1989 and 1995, the tower was reconstructed under the guidance of architect Francisco Pol. The design was a subject of controversy. The tower was transformed into a museum showcasing the archaeological history of Gijón, which remained operational until 2009.
Current Status of La Torre del Reloj
At present, the tower is not in use and its potential as a tourist viewpoint has been dismissed. The museum was forced to close as it failed to meet basic accessibility requirements.
