Clock Tower of Tirana
Kulla e Sahatit
A city landmark completed in 1822, about 35 m tall. From the top, you can overlook Skanderbeg Square and the surrounding old and new buildings.
The tower was commissioned by Haji Et'hem Bey and was once the tallest building in Tirana. It was damaged in World War II and later restored. Inside are about 90 steps of spiral staircase, and from the small platform at the top you can see the square, the mosque and the distant Dajti Mountain in every direction. Tickets are cheap, but the platform is cramped, so expect queues when it is busy. The tower is right beside the Et'hem Bey Mosque and Bunk'Art 2, so the three can be visited together.
Opening hours
About 9:00–15:00 (hours often change)
