RELOJ DE FLORES
El Reloj de las Flores es una postal obligada de la ciudad. Cuenta la leyenda que aquellos que se fotografíen con el reloj de flores volverán a la ciudad. Inaugurado el 15 de mayo de 1962, lo que motivó su construcción fue el mundial de fútbol que ese año se celebró en nuestro país. Su maquinaria ha sido sustituida de ser mecánica a actualmente ser manejada por computador, lo que permite que se adapte mejor a los tiempos.
