Cunningham Clock Tower, Colonial clock tower in Old Peshawar City, Pakistan.
The octagonal clock tower features a 31-foot diameter base, rising 26 meters high with a prominent timepiece visible from multiple directions in the city.
Built in 1900 to honor Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, the tower was funded by banker Balmukand Ahooja and designed by Municipal Engineer James Strachan.
The tower, known locally as Ghanta Ghar, marks the center of daily life in Peshawar, where residents gather for community events and celebrations.
Located at Ghanta Ghar Chowk intersection, the structure maintains its original function as a timekeeper while serving as a primary navigation point.
During the 1965 Indo-Pakistani war, the tower sustained damage when an Indian aircraft mistook it for Peshawar airport's control tower.
