Jaffa Clock Tower, Ottoman clock tower in Jaffa, Israel.
The three-floor stone clock tower features dual clocks, ornamental seals, and stained glass windows depicting regional history through architectural details.
Built in 1903 to commemorate Sultan Abdul Hamid II's 25th year of reign, the tower stands as one of seven similar structures constructed in Ottoman Palestine.
The clock tower resulted from joint funding between Jewish, Armenian, Maronite, and Arab communities, symbolizing cross-cultural cooperation in early 20th century Jaffa.
Located at the northern end of Yefet Street, the tower serves as a central meeting point and reference landmark for navigating through Jaffa's streets.
The clock mechanism, created by Jewish clockmaker Moritz Schoenberg, originally chimed at a volume sufficient to reach three kilometers across the city.
