Samsun Clock Tower, Clock tower in Saathane Square, Samsun, Turkey.

The clock tower stands 16.5 meters tall with a 2-meter diameter, constructed from Ladik andesite stone with a reinforced concrete internal structure.

The original tower, built in 1886 during Sultan Abdul Hamid II's reign, was demolished in 1948 after sustaining damage in the 1943 Ladik earthquake.

The structure marks the center of Saathane Square, functioning as a primary meeting point for local residents and municipal gatherings.

The tower contains Swiss-made clock mechanisms on multiple faces, allowing time visibility from different directions across the square.

The current tower, completed in 2001, represents the third version of the structure, with its predecessor's clock mechanism transferred to Ladik Municipality.
