The Jaca Clock Tower, also popularly known as the Prison Tower, is an interesting Gothic civil building built in 1445. It was both a clock and a prison since the Council of Jaca bought it in 1599 to place the clock-bell tower that would mark urban life and converted it, in 1602, into the city prison.

It is a rectangular tower, built with irregular stones and very slender. The entrance door is located on the north face and consists of a semicircular arch.
