Skopje Clock Tower, Clock tower near Sultan Murad Mosque, Skopje, North Macedonia.
The hexagonal tower combines sandstone base construction with brick upper sections, reaching toward the sky near the old market district.
Built between 1566 and 1573, the tower withstood numerous challenges including a fire in 1689 and underwent major repairs in 1902 under Ali-Hivza Pasha.
The clock mechanism, originally brought from Szeged, Hungary, regulated daily activities and marked prayer times for the Muslim population of Skopje.
The clock tower stands 256 meters above sea level and sits 1.07 kilometers from the main square, near multiple accommodation options.
The structure incorporates architectural elements from different traditions, featuring a base from an earlier Christian monastery and a dome influenced by Russian design.
