The sundial was built in 1753 during the reign of Carlos III by order of Francisco de Rubio y Peñaranda, governor of Santo Domingo. The clock stands in front of the Museum of the Royal Houses. In colonial times, this museum was the Royal Court and Palace of the General Captaincy. The clock was built so that magistrates could see the time from their offices. The clock has two dials: the southeast where the morning hours are seen and the southwest where the afternoon hours are read. The hours are marked by a gnomon or metal plate whose shadow marks the hours on the dials. This piece (with its features) is one of the few still working in America.
