Izmir Clock Tower

Considered the heart of the city of Izmir, Turkey, this clock tower in Konak square serves as a meeting point for locals and is a beloved attraction for tourists. The clock tower was designed by the French architect Raymond Charles Père in 1901, though the clock itself was a gift from German emperor Wilhelm II to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Abdülhamid’s ascension to the throne. With its beautiful Ottoman architecture style, the Izmir Clock Tower is a historical must-see.
