Listed as a historical monument since 1951. The Camino Portugués de la Costa passes through the arch of the impressive tower. It is the only remaining tower of the city wall built in the 13th century under the reign of Alfonso III (1248 - 1279). The two-storey tower received its clock in 1673, from which the building takes its name. Since 2008 it has housed the Old Town Museum of Caminha, which shows the history and urban development of the municipality on the Minho.

The Church of Mercy dates from the sixteenth century. The clock tower, with battlements, was part of the city walls in the Middle Ages and is classified as a national monument. One of the entrances to the old city center ran through it, under a pointed arch.
