Its story
The first clock tower was built in 1865 by Mutasarrıf (district governor) Ziya Paşa. Damaged in the 1938 earthquake, the tower was demolished in 1940 during work on the bridge. In 2002 it was rebuilt on the same spot based on old photographs. Its riverside location serves as a meeting point for walking routes.
