Tripoli Clock Tower

The Hamidiyeh Clock Tower rises 26 meters high with six floors, featuring stone construction and mechanical timekeeping mechanisms at the top section.

Ottoman authorities presented this clock tower to Tripoli in 1900 to mark Sultan Abd El Hamid II's 25th year of leadership.

This clock tower represents Ottoman architectural influence in Lebanon through its proportions, decorative elements, and central position in El-Tell Square.

The tower functions as a central navigation point in Tripoli, with its four clock faces visible from different directions across the city center.

This structure belongs to a set of three similar clock towers built during the same period in the region, including examples in Beirut and Haifa.
