Clock Tower of Sarajevo
Clock Tower of Sarajevo, Ottoman clock tower next to Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Clock Tower of Sarajevo rises 30 meters high near the center of the old town district, displaying time through its large clock faces on multiple sides.
The structure originated in the 17th century, receiving a new clock mechanism from London manufacturers Gillett & Johnson during the late 1800s to replace its Turkish mechanism.
The clock tower operates on lunar time, with its hands marking midnight at sunset to coordinate with Islamic prayer schedules in the surrounding community.
Visitors can find the clock tower at coordinates 43.859198, 18.428518, making it an easy reference point for exploring the historical district of Stari Grad.
A dedicated timekeeper adjusts the clock every three days to maintain its accuracy as the only public lunar timepiece currently operating in the world.
