This clock that is placed on the façade of the military building.
The sphere looks like a gear wheel, and the needles of the reel the lances of Don Quixote, a cone on one side and a ball on the other.
It is made all of iron.
The numbers are Roman and the 4 (IV) does not correspond to the watchmaking standard.
"The construction of the building, which has two entrances to clearly differentiate the offices of the Royal Court from those of the Captaincy General, has a duration of four years, two more than planned. Successive interventions up to the same twentieth century will only affect the interior layout, the cistern, the rain pipes and the vaulted naves in the basement of the archive building. In 1910, the upper floor was used for noble areas and the Captain General's home. Stables were built on the left side of the building that would progressively be transformed into garages and the archive, in the basements of the building, was converted into bedrooms"
