Clock Tower, Clock tower at Francis Rachel Street intersection in Victoria, Seychelles.
The cast iron clock tower stands 5 meters tall at the junction of four main streets, featuring Corinthian columns and Victorian heraldic elements.
Built in 1903 to commemorate Queen Victoria's passing, the clock tower marked Seychelles' transition from Mauritius governance to direct British crown colony status.
Known as Lorloz in Creole language, the clock tower remains a central meeting point and navigation landmark in Victoria's urban landscape.
The clock mechanism, replaced in 1999 with a modern quartz system, now accurately strikes every hour to help locals and visitors track time.
The structure is an exact replica of a clock tower built in 1892 at Victoria Station in London, manufactured by Gillet & Johnson for 468 dollars.
