Built into an ornate cast iron setting, this clock was donated by the Portuguese government in 1897 to commemorate the discovery in 1487 of Port Natal by Vasco da Gama.

Crafted from colorful and impressively intricate ironwork, this bell-shaped clock is a popular Durban attraction and one of the city's most historical. As well, its location along the popular and thoroughly modern Victoria Embankment, also called the Esplanade, make it a great addition to an afternoon stroll.
