The Tirana Clock Tower, located in the heart of Tirana, Albania, is one of the city's most iconic landmarks. Constructed in 1822 by Haxhi Et'hem Bey, the same individual responsible for building the nearby Et'hem Bey Mosque, the tower stands as a symbol of Tirana's rich history and cultural heritage. Originally, the tower featured a wooden structure and a clock imported from Venice. Over the years, it has undergone several restorations, with its most recent renovation in the early 2000s. Standing at about 35 meters tall, visitors can climb its 90 steps to enjoy panoramic views of Skanderbeg Square and the surrounding cityscape.
