    Richly decorated church with seemingly massive golden sanctum dating back more than 500 years
      It is worth visiting the interior and seeing the gilded carvings

        The main tower of the medieval walls of Caminha, it provides access to the Medieval Historic Centre of the town. Facing south, this tower had the Portas de Viana underneath it, as it was an exit towards Viana do Castelo. Square in shape, it consists of two floors, and is currently the only remaining tower of the castle of Caminha. In 1673, the clock that would give it its name was placed at the top of the tower. It has been a National Monument since 1951.

        In 2008, the church underwent renovation and enhancement, which led to the creation of the Museum Centre of the Historic Centre of Caminha, placing the Clock Tower building at the service of culture and tourism, where the History of Caminha and its urban evolution from its origins to the present day take center stage.
