Clock Tower of Kavajë, Ottoman clock tower in Kavajë, Albania.
The clock tower stands 23.3 meters tall with a square base measuring 4.37 meters on each side and walls 0.85 meters thick.
Ibrahim bey Alltuni supervised the construction of this structural masterwork between 1817 and 1818, marking a period of architectural advancement in Kavajë.
The tower contains an inscription revealing its mechanism originated from Cancani in Venice, demonstrating the commercial connections between Albania and Italy.
The clock tower underwent modifications in the 1930s, transforming from a sound-based timekeeper to include a visible clock face for public time display.
Three arched windows and a sundial on the structure served to signal prayer times and closing hours for local businesses.
