Its story
A clock was installed in 1672 on top of the projection at the north entrance of the Ulu Mosque; if this date is correct, Türkiye's first clock tower came into being here. The original structure survived the 1922 fire undamaged but was completely demolished in the Republican period. The tower seen today was rebuilt in 1975 by a tourism association.
