Kastamonu Clock Tower
Merkez, Kastamonu
A clock tower built in 1885 on the slope east of the city, one of the favorite viewpoints of Kastamonu thanks to its position facing the castle.
Its story
The Kastamonu Clock Tower was commissioned in 1885 by Abdurrahman Nureddin Paşa, Governor of Kastamonu, in the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II. The cut-stone tower, about 12 meters high, has a dial 1.60 meters in diameter with Eastern Arabic numerals; it is reported that the clock was brought from Europe. The tower was last restored in 2002. Because it stands on the slope east of the city, its surroundings serve as a viewing terrace overlooking the castle opposite and the historic bazaar together. It is also possible to walk up via stepped streets.
