EL RELOJ

The clock, the pride of the city, which stands in the middle of the central park of San Fernando, in front of the church, was bought from France in 1895, thanks to the contributions of the local citizens. Its structure is reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower, which is understandable since the clock was designed by Gustave Eiffel himself and built by the famous clockmaker Paul Garnier. The latter, a genius craftsman, was a member of the Society of Civil Engineers in the 19th century. The Montecristi clock still works with its original mechanism.
