The Clérigos Tower is a part of the architectural complex known as the Church and Tower of the Clérigos, which is situated in Porto, Portugal's historic centre. The tower, which is made of granite and has a height of almost 75 metres, may be accessed through an inside staircase with more than 240 steps. Portugal honoured the tower with a commemorative €2 coin in 2013. Both the church and the tower are accessible to the general public and can be seen at any time of day or night.

One of the most prominent practitioners of Baroque art in the Portuguese city, Nicolau Nasoni, created both the church and the tower. At the request of the Brotherhood of Poor Clerics, construction started in 1754 and was finished in 1763. The Clerigos complex contained a hospital as well as a church and its tower.

Two towers were originally planned, but the second tower was never constructed. The Clérigos Tower served as Portugal's highest structure for a long time. Since 1910, the complex has designated a National Monument, and the Clérigos Tower is one of Porto's most recognisable landmarks.

Although the church's exterior is beautifully ornamented, its 76-meter-tall tower, which may be climbed for the best panoramic views of Porto and its surroundings, is the true gem of the structure. Since it is situated in one of the city's highest points, it can be seen from many locations across Porto and has long acted as a landmark for boats navigating the Douro.

The "hill of the hanging" refers to the location of the Clérigos Tower since this is where the executed were buried.

The outside of the tower is less stylistically varied than the church, yet it still adheres fairly closely to the author's personal aesthetic.

Joo Chagas Garden is located close to the tower.
