Clock Tower of Bitola, Clock tower in Magnolia Square, Bitola, North Macedonia
The stone tower rises 30 meters high with a square base measuring 5.8 meters on each side and features a mechanical clock at its summit.
Records indicate an earlier clock tower existed in 1664, while the current structure was built in 1830 during the Ottoman period alongside St. Demetrius Church.
The tower displays Roman numerals on metal plates mounted to the clock hands, replacing the Eastern Arabic numerals used during the Ottoman period.
Visitors can enter through the north door and climb a stone spiral staircase to reach the clock mechanism at approximately 32 meters height.
The tower received 15 bells weighing 900 kilograms in 1936 as gratitude for constructing the Memorial Cemetery of German soldiers from World War I.
