Clock mounted on the bell tower of the Igreja Paroquial de Vila Chã de Ourique (Church).
Igreja Paroquial de Vila Chã de Ourique is a Roman Catholic temple near Cartaxo.
Several sources date the church from the 18th century but there´s not much information available about it. From the outside the church seem´s recent and was probably rebuilt or remodeled after the 1909 hearthquake that struck the region.
The clock is very simple. It has a white dial with Arab numerals and is surrounded by a grey frame made of what it seems to be granite.
The date it was mounted is unknown.
