İzmir Clock Tower, Clock tower in Konak Square, Turkey
The 25-meter high octagonal clock tower features four fountains at its base and four clock faces displaying time in each cardinal direction.
French architect Raymond Charles Péré designed this tower in 1901 to mark Sultan Abdul Hamid II's 25th year of reign over the Ottoman Empire.
The structure combines European and Ottoman architectural elements, with marble columns from Marseille and stones from local Turkish quarries.
This central landmark stands in a flat, accessible square where visitors can observe the structure and feed the numerous pigeons.
German Emperor Wilhelm II donated the mechanical clock mechanism, which continues operating despite damage from two major earthquakes in 1928 and 1974.
