Was initiated by Haxhi Et'hem Bey in 1822 and completed with contributions from Tirana’s wealthy families. Originally 30 meters tall, the tower had a winding clock mechanism and a bronze bell. In 1928, the tower was modified to its current height of 35 meters. You can climb its 90 stairs and on reaching the top have a magnificent view of the main square in Tirana and beyond. The Clock Tower is a symbol of the Tirana Municipality emblem and, along with the Et'hem Bey Mosque, forms a unique architectural ensemble.
