Yozgat Clock Tower

The Yozgat Clock Tower rises 17 meters high with a square base measuring 3.5 meters on each side, featuring a balcony around its upper section.

The clock tower was commissioned by mayor Ahmet Tevfikizade and constructed by local stonemason Şakir in 1908 during the late Ottoman period in Turkey.

The clock tower stands as a central gathering point in Yozgat's public square, where residents meet and participate in community activities throughout the year.

The structure contains walls made of cut stone between 30 to 40 centimeters thick and requires regular maintenance to keep its French-made clock functioning properly.

The tower's bell-shaped wooden cap tops six stories of architectural details that reflect the transition period of Ottoman urban development in central Anatolia.
