Other sundials in Torreón, Coahuila, México



Four-sided sundial in Torreón Jardín (a residential area)

The four-sided sundial of Torreón Jardín is nearby. It has been designed by the architect Miguel Bertrán de Quintana and made by the artisan Cirilo Núñez in 1946. We see the north dial, with the typical 'inverted' gnomon, and the east dial, at which the gnomon is parallel to the dial face.




Two vertical dials at Guadalupe Church

The dial at left is slightly east declining. Its dial face has been richly decorated, showing hour lines down to 15 minutes, an analemma around the noon line, and date lines for the zodiacal months. The dial has been designed by the architect Miguel Bertrán de Quintana and carved by the artisan Cirilo Núñez in 1955.

The dial at right is almost west oriented. Therefore the pole style and its support are T-shaped.
