Beautifull Clock mounted in the walls of the Algarve University in Portimão.
The Building of the Portimão Campus of Algarve University is a former slaughterhouse closed in the 1980´s.
The building was built in 1913 and the clock seem´s to be mounted in those days.
The clock is simply made of cement (or something similar used in those days) with a white face and roman numerals painted brown inside a brown circle (Paint seem´s to be the traditional whitewash used mostly in the South of Portugal). Around it we can find 2 branches with a flower probably representing the traditional Almond Trees of Algarve.
