Sivrihisar Clock Tower
Sivrihisar, Eskişehir
A 12-meter stone clock tower built in 1900; the symbol of the Sivrihisar bazaar.
Its story
The Sivrihisar Clock Tower was built in 1900, in the time of District Governor Mahmud Bey and Mayor Yüzügüllü Hacı Mehmet Efendi. The tower, about 12 meters high, stands in the middle of the district's old bazaar. The tower's bell was stolen in December 2006, found in Afyonkarahisar in 2007 and put back in place. The pointed rocky hills rising behind it complete the view that gives the district its name (Sivrihisar, 'pointed fortress'). The Ulu Mosque, the Alemşah Kümbet and the church are within walking distance.
