Muğla Clock Tower, Clock tower in central Muğla, Turkey.

The Muğla Clock Tower features a stone construction with a clock mechanism visible from multiple angles in the city center of Muğla.

Built in 1885 by Greek craftsmen under local mayoral supervision, this clock tower represents the Ottoman modernization period of public timekeeping structures.

The clock tower reflects Turkish urban development through its architectural style and placement near Saburhane Square, a central meeting point for residents.

Visitors can locate the tower near the Muğla Museum and Yağcılar Inn, making it a convenient starting point for city exploration.

A poet named Hakkı composed an epitaph for the tower stating that pocket watches became unnecessary due to the tower's sound reaching everyone.
