The principal entrance of the old city of Cartagena de Indias is made by the tour of the Public Clock. At first, the clock tour had only one arch to enter, the middle one. Originally, the door had a weapon room and a chapel in the interior and was replaced by two other arches in the XVIII century. - See more at: http://www.cartagena-indias.com/en/Places/clock.html#sthash.iXbrWBax.dpuf
The Gate and Clock Tower (“la Puerta y la Torre del Reloj”) can be seen at the main entrance of the walled city. Of the three open doors there, only the central one existed originally; the other two were occupied by a gunroom and a chapel. In 1874, a clock was brought from the United States, and 63 years later it was replaced by the current clock, imported from Switzerland.
