This is a list of clock towers by location, including only clock towers based on the following definition:
A clock tower is a tower specifically built with one or more (often four) clock faces. Clock towers can be either freestanding or part of a church or municipal building such as a town hall.
The mechanism inside the tower is known as a turret clock which often marks the hour (and sometimes segments of an hour) by sounding large bells or chimes, sometimes playing simple musical phrases or tunes.
In 2013, a research made by newspaper La Tercera revealed that only 5 out of 25 clock towers are functioning in Santiago, mostly because of financial issues and lack of interest by the owners.[3]
