Nusretiye Clock Tower, Neoclassical clock tower in Tophane district, Turkey
The Nusretiye Clock Tower rises as a three-story stone structure with four faces adorned with Roman details and columns near the Bosphorus Strait.
Sultan Abdulmecid I commissioned the construction of this timepiece in 1848, during the Ottoman Empire's modernization period under architect Garabet Amira Balyan.
The tower represents a fusion of Ottoman and European architectural elements, marking the period when Istanbul embraced Western influences in urban development.
Located on Meclis-i Mebusan Street in Beyoglu district, visitors can reach the clock tower by tram, ferry, or funicular from central Istanbul.
The structure developed a slight tilt toward the sea over time, leading to recent restoration work that revealed a hidden underground floor.
