Its story
Bilecik Clock Tower is one of the clock towers built in many Anatolian cities during the reign of Abdülhamid II. Made of cut stone, the tower was one of the buildings that survived even though the city largely burned during the War of Independence. Today it is one of the meeting points of the city center. The old streets and mansions around it form a short walking route toward the city's historic center. Its evening lighting also makes it good for photographs.
