Description
Print of steel engraving titled „Vue de la tour Penchee de Saragosse“.
Drawn by unknown.
Engraved by Leonce L‘huillier.
From „Le Monde Histoire Tous les peuples depuis les temps les plus recules“ by M. E. De Lostalot-Bachoue. Paris. 1859.
The Leaning Tower of Zaragoza or Torre Nueva, was the most famous Mudéjar tower of the Spanish city of Zaragoza. It was built in the present Plaza de San Felipe, being the first large building built in the city during the 16th century, from 1504 to 1512. The Council ordered a civil tower to house the public clock – built by Jaime Ferrer – and bells that regulated the life of the city. The bells were placed in 1508. The tower was made of brick in Mudéjar style by Christian masters (Gabriel Gombao and Antón Sariñena) and Mudéjars (Juce Galí, Ismael Allabar and master Monferriz). It was demolished starting in 1892 by decision of the Council of Zaragoza.
