Ankara Clock Tower, Clock tower at Ankara Castle, Turkey
The pink stone clock tower stands four stories tall within the ancient walls of Ankara Castle, marking time for the surrounding district.
The construction of this Ottoman clock tower in 1884 occurred during a period when Sultan Abdul Hamid II ordered the building of timekeeping structures across the empire.
The clock tower represents the shift from traditional Islamic time measurement methods to mechanical timekeeping in Turkish urban centers during the late Ottoman period.
The tower remains visible from multiple vantage points in the Altındag district, with its coordinates at 39.937811 latitude and 32.863497 longitude.
The pink stone structure incorporates Ottoman architectural elements while functioning as a modern timekeeping device, marking a transition between two eras.
