Tour de l'horloge de Draguignan, Historical clock tower in central Draguignan, France.

This square tower reaches 18 meters in height with a ground floor and two upper levels, topped by a wrought iron bell tower extending to 24 meters.

Built in the early 16th century as the city's first public clock, the tower was destroyed in 1659 and rebuilt in 1661 under King Louis XIV's authorization.

The open-air theater at the base of the tower hosts performances during summer months, serving as a central point for community gatherings.

Tower visits are free of charge and only available from June 1st to September 30th, allowing visitors to explore the interior of the monument.

The original bell from 1569, weighing 600 kilograms, remains in place within the bell tower structure installed in 1723.
