Spain

The 186th tallest tower in the world

m

The Berenguela Tower (Galician: Torre da Berenguela), also known as Tower of the Clock (Torre do Reloxo) or Tower of the Trinity (Torre da Trinidade), is the bell tower of the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in Galicia, Spain. Tradition states that it was built by Archbishop Rodrigo del Padrón as a defense tower with the work continuing after his death by his successor, Archbishop Bérenger de Landore, after whom the tower is named. Reflecting its original purpose, much of the tower is made of ashlar stone. The tower sits on the southeast side of the cathedral where the Praterias Square and Quintana Square meet. The tower is visible throughout the city.
