Sahat Tepe (Clock Tower Hill)
Сахат тепе
A small hill beside the main street, topped by a 16th-century Ottoman clock tower and offering views over the Old Town and the Roman Theatre.
Sahat Tepe, also known as Danov Hill, is one of the seven hills of Plovdiv. The clock tower on its summit is believed to date from the Ottoman period in the 16th century and is considered one of the oldest clock towers in the Balkans. From the western side of the main street, a walk of about 10 minutes uphill along a path through the trees leads to a viewing platform. From here you can see the three hills of the Old Town, the Roman Theatre and the Rhodope Mountains to the south. Entry is free, and the light is best in the evening.
