Jaffa Clock Tower
מגדל השעון ביפו
A stone clock tower built in the Ottoman period, serving as Jaffa's landmark and meeting point. It sits between the Old City and the flea market entrance.
The Jaffa Clock Tower was built between 1900 and 1903 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the accession of Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II. It is one of seven clock towers the Ottomans built in Palestine. The tower stands on a square at the entrance to the Old City of Jaffa, surrounded by Ottoman-era buildings such as the old post office and the police station. The flea market lies to the south, and a climb to the west leads into the Old City. Visiting is free, and a 15-minute stop for photos is sufficient.
