Clock Tower of Pristina
Sahat Kulla
A 26-metre Ottoman-era clock tower from the 19th century, a landmark of the old town surrounded by mosques, hammams and museums.
The clock tower was built in the mid-19th century. It was originally made of wood and later rebuilt in brick and stone. It stands about 26 metres tall, and its bell was brought from Moldova. The tower was damaged in a fire and later rebuilt, and it is now a protected cultural heritage site in Kosovo. The tower itself is not open for climbing, but it sits in the heart of the old town. Together with the Imperial Mosque, the Jashar Pasha Mosque, the Great Hammam and the Kosovo Museum, it forms a 30-minute walking route.
