Architecture / Clock tower
Çanakkale Clock Tower
Merkez, Çanakkale
A five-story stone clock tower on the pier square, built in the late 19th century; the city's meeting point.
Its story
The Clock Tower was built in 1896 right next to the ferry pier; its construction was funded by a donation from a merchant named Vitalis. The cut-stone, square-plan tower, tapering toward the top, is about 20 meters high. It has a fountain on the ground floor and, at the very top, a domed pavilion carrying the clock bell. The tower is the starting point of the Kordon (waterfront) walk and the bazaar streets leading to Aynalı Çarşı.
