The Albert Memorial Clock is a prominent landmark located in Queen's Square, Belfast, Northern Ireland. Erected in 1869 in memory of Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert, the clock tower stands approximately 113 feet (34.4 meters) tall. Designed by W.J. Barre, it features a blend of French and Italian Gothic architectural styles. Notably, the structure is slightly tilted due to the marshy land on which it was built, earning it comparisons to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The clock was restored in the early 2000s to address structural issues and preserve its historical significance.
