Description
A close up view of the upper part of the Torre do Relogio / Clock Tower in the centre of the historic town of Caminha in the far north of Portugal. Caminha has a long history; the Romans had a military settlement here and in the 13th century King Afonso III built a new castle and fortifications around what at the time was a fishing village. The tower was originally the old castle keep and part of the town's defences. The clock was added in the 17th century.
