Clock Tower of Tripoli, Libya, Ottoman clock tower in Al-Tell Square, Tripoli, Libya.
The stone clock tower features four clock faces displaying time for the surrounding medina district of Tripoli, reaching several meters into the sky.
Built in 1866 under Ottoman rule, the clock tower marked Sultan Abdul Hamid II's 30th year of reign and served as a central timekeeping device.
The clock tower functions as a central meeting point where residents gather for celebrations and social events throughout the year.
The tower stands in the middle of Al-Tell Square, accessible from all directions and visible from multiple points within the old city.
The clock mechanism underwent a complete restoration in 1992, returning the tower to its original timekeeping function for the community.
