Çanakkale Clock Tower, Ottoman clock tower in Çanakkale, Turkey
The five-story stone clock tower stands near the harbor, featuring four clock faces on its fourth floor and a domed mansion at the top.
Built in 1897 during Sultan Abdulhamid II's reign, the tower was funded by Italian consul Emili Vitalis, who contributed 100,000 gold francs for its construction.
The clock tower incorporates architectural elements of late 19th century Ottoman design, with locally sourced Ayvalik stone forming its primary structure.
Located in the city center, the tower serves as a central meeting point near numerous cafes, shops, and the Çanakkale Museum.
A public fountain, built in 1889 by Jewish philanthropist Halyo, sits at the base of this illuminated tower that marks time from all four directions.
