Merkez, Yozgat
The symbol of Cumhuriyet Square, a clock tower built in 1908 with a seven-story shaft and a single ornate balcony.
Its story
The Yozgat Clock Tower was commissioned in 1908 by the then mayor, Tevfikizade Ahmet Bey. Its seven-story shaft ends with a wooden domed roof; below the clocks facing the four sides there is a single balcony with an ornate railing projecting from the shaft. In its early years the ground floor was used as a timekeeper's house (muvakkithane), and the tower itself as a fire lookout. The names of French clockmakers can be read on the clocks; the bell weighs about 250 kilograms. It shares the same square as the Çapanoğlu Mosque and the Hamidiye Clock Fountain.
