The 1755 Lisbon earthquake was the most destructive in the history of southwestern Europe and caused a massive tsunami. The main church of Estepona did not withstand the onslaught of the elements at that time. Only one of its towers survived, and it can still be seen today. However, the clock, which made it one of the main attractions of the city, was only installed on it in the past century.
