Architecture / Clock tower
Düzce Clock Tower
Merkez, Düzce
A tower rising in Anıtpark Square in 2009, keeping alive the memory of the old clock tower built in 1901 and destroyed in the 1925 fire.
Its story
Düzce's first clock tower was built in 1901 by İbrahim Usta of Tonya near Cedidiye Caddesi. The tower, reduced to ruins in the 1925 fire that heavily affected the city center, was not replaced by a new one for a long time. The present tower was built in 2009 in Anıtpark Square, the city's meeting point, and keeps alive the memory of the old tower. As the city was largely rebuilt after the 1999 Gölcük and Düzce earthquakes, the square and its surroundings represent the new face of Düzce. The tower can be the starting point of a short city walk together with the Millet Bahçesi (Nation's Garden) and the bazaar in the center.
