Clock tower in Tirana
The Clock Tower is located 100 meters from Skanderberg Square. It was built by the Turks in
the 19th century. There were no clocks then. And at the top of the tower was a bell from
Venice. He beat every hour. This was necessary so that people would know when to pray.
Over time, the bell was replaced by a clock. And today there is a clock on each of the 4 sides
of the tower.
You can visit this: from 9 am to 18 pm.
You can visit to the top of the tower for a beautiful view of the center of Tirana. Only 90
steps up.
Ticket price: 200 lek ($2)
