Victoria Clock Tower, Clock tower in Victoria, Seychelles

The silver-colored Victoria Clock Tower stands at the intersection of Francis Rachel Street, State House Avenue, Albert Street, and Independence Avenue.

The clock tower was constructed in 1903 using nine pieces of cast iron to commemorate Queen Victoria, though two components were lost during transportation.

Known as 'Lorloz' by local residents, the tower remains a central meeting point and navigation reference in the capital city of Seychelles.

The clock mechanism was updated in 1999 from a spring system to an electronic configuration, enabling the tower to chime for the first time.

This structure mirrors the design of a London clock tower situated at the junction of Victoria Street and Vauxhall Bridge Road near Victoria Station.
