İzmit Clock Tower, Ottoman clock tower in İzmit, Turkey
The İzmit Clock Tower rises 16.4 meters with four floors, displaying Ottoman architectural elements through its pointed arches and decorative stone patterns.
Architect Vedat Tek designed this structure in 1902 to mark the 25th anniversary of Sultan Abdul Hamid II's ascension to the Ottoman throne.
The clock tower stands as a representation of the First Turkish National Architectural Movement, which merged traditional Ottoman design with early 20th-century elements.
Located in the central district of İzmit, the clock tower functions as a meeting point near shops, restaurants, and public transportation stations.
The structure incorporates wide eaves, domes, and muqarnas decorations, reflecting Vedat Tek's vision of combining religious architectural elements with civil construction.
