Tepsi Minare, Clock tower in Erzurum, Turkey.

The Tepsi Minare rises 30.75 meters high near the Great Mosque and Tebriz Gate on Cumhuriyet Street in Erzurum.

The tower originated as a mosque minaret built between 1124 and 1132 by Ebu'l-Muzaffer Gazi, with its clock mechanism added before 1843.

The structure exhibits traditional Seljuk architectural elements through its stone craftsmanship and geometric patterns that represent medieval Anatolian design.

Visitors can access the tower through public transportation and join guided tours that explain its features and historical importance.

A miniature replica of Tepsi Minare stands in the Clock Towers Park of Time Witness, which opened in Safranbolu in 2012.
