Macedonian Tower, Clock tower in Edirne, Turkey
The Macedonian Tower stands at one of the four corners of ancient Edirne city walls, featuring stone construction and multiple wooden floors.
Built between 1866 and 1867 under Governor Hacı Izzet Pasha, the tower replaced an earlier defensive structure from the Byzantine period at this strategic location.
The tower represents the Ottoman period architectural traditions and served as both a timekeeper and fire observation point for the local population.
The structure sustained damage from an earthquake in 1953, and current restoration plans aim to transform it into a museum for public access.
This tower remains as the only preserved corner fortification from the original Edirne city walls, marking the direction toward Macedonia.
