Description

The towers of the Customs (18th century) were built to flank the passage to the Customs Square, where taxes and tolls were charged. These neoclassical-style constructions are one of the most well-known and representative monuments of La Carolina. They intended to bring a sign architecture to the capital of the New People and a revolution to the urban planning of the time. In 1792 they were moved to keep the north entrance of the city. In the original plane of the population, a tower was planned to be erected for each vertex of the city.
