Kulla e Sahatit

"The Kulla e Sahatit, or Clock Tower, is a prominent landmark nestled within the historic streets of Gjirokastër. Dating back to the Ottoman period in the 19th century, this iconic structure served as both a timekeeper for the city and a symbol of its civic pride. Standing tall in the heart of Gjirokastër's old town, the Clock Tower boasts a distinctive octagonal shape and elegant architectural details that reflect its Ottoman heritage. Ascending the narrow staircase to the top of the Kulla e Sahatit offers visitors panoramic views of the surrounding cityscape and the majestic mountains beyond. From this vantage point, travelers can admire the timeless beauty of Gjirokastër's well-preserved Ottoman architecture, with its stone houses, cobblestone streets, and terracotta rooftops stretching out below. Throughout the centuries, the Clock Tower has remained a beloved symbol of Gjirokastër's cultural identity and a gathering place for locals and tourists alike, offering a glimpse into the city's rich history and enduring charm."

"The Tirana Clock Tower, or Kulla e Sahatit, is one of the city’s oldest and most beloved landmarks. Built in 1822 by Haxhi Et'hem Bey, the tower originally featured an Ottoman-style wooden clock, replaced later with a German mechanism after it was damaged in World War II. Standing 35 meters tall, the Clock Tower provides a stunning view over Skanderbeg Square and the surrounding historical sites."
