Clock Tower of Razgrad, Ottoman clock tower in Razgrad, Bulgaria
The rectangular stone structure rises 26.15 meters with a square base of 4.4 meters on each side and walls measuring 1.05 meters thick.
Master builder Todor Tonchev constructed the current tower in 1864 upon the foundations of an earlier clock tower from 1764 during Ibrahim Pasha's time.
The tower combines Ottoman architectural elements with local building traditions, featuring stone blocks in lower sections and wooden octagonal structure at the top.
The clock mechanism, installed in the 1970s, marks every half hour and full hour, requiring regular maintenance to ensure accurate timekeeping.
The bell mounted in the tower carries an unreadable Hungarian inscription, suggesting its acquisition during the Austro-Turkish War in 1731.
