Manara Clock Tower

The square stone clock tower rises above the surrounding buildings with its four clock faces visible from different directions of the city center.

Built in 1906 during the Ottoman period, the tower incorporates European clockwork mechanisms that demonstrated the international trade connections of Nablus at that time.

The tower serves as a central gathering point where local vendors sell traditional Palestinian goods and food products throughout the day.

Located at a major intersection in downtown Nablus, the tower functions as a primary navigation landmark for visitors exploring the old city district.

The structure integrates Ottoman architectural elements with European timekeeping technology, representing the fusion of Eastern and Western influences in early 20th century Palestine.
