The Torre del Reloj in Cantillana is a historic tower originally built in the 12th century during the Almohad period. This tower was part of the city wall that surrounded Cantillana, and was an important defensive structure. The tower is made of tapial (a type of mortar) on a foundation of stones that may have come from an older Roman construction. In the 18th century, the tower was given a sundial on the south wall, which gave it its name "Torre del Reloj" (Tower of the Clock). Later, in the 19th century, a clock tower was added. The tower also has a coat of arms on the front with an eagle and a castle, the arms of the Counts of Cantillana, the Vicentelos de Leca

Note that on top of the tower you can also find a stork's nest. The valley of the Río Guadalquivir is also popular with storks.
