Clock Tower

The Clock Tower of Bitola, known as Saat Kula, is a clock tower and one of the landmarks of the Macedonian city of Bitola. The Clock tower in Bitola, unlike obsolete water towers which were built by the Austro Magjar empire, is a very practical monument aiding people with the time of day.According to legend, even though the existence of the Clock Tower was mentioned before in 1664, the present Clock Tower was built in the 1830s, in the same period when the Orthodox Church of St. Demetrious was being built.It is located in the immediate center of Bitola on the northern part of the main street Sirok Sokak not far away from Magnolia Square, where there are numerous cultural and historical monuments, as well as new construction.
