Hello Dialists, especially the Spaniards:

 

I came across this intriguing photo of an odd spiral-shaped multiple
vertical dial that the photographer calls "The Eternal Sundial".  He gives
no information about it, but I think it might be located in Spain-possibly
at the Susqueda dam because it is in the photographer's photostream next to
photos of the dam.

Also in this photostream is this photo of a more traditional vertical
declining dial with the same decorative border design:

So I bet both dials are on the same building. 

 

Notice the curved hour lines of the multiple dial.  I am not familiar with
this kind of dial.  What kind of time do the multiple dials show?  And why
do the multiple rod gnomons face in different directions?  

 

It is a beautiful design though and is most fascinating!
