Clock Tower (Sahat Kulla), Gjakovë

Gjakova’s Sahat Kulla rises in the area historically known as Fusha e Sahatit (The Field of the Clock), at the heart of the Grand Bazaar near the Hadum Mosque. The original tower was built in the 19th century as a symbol of the city’s prosperity; Montenegrin forces burned it in 1912 and removed its clock mechanism. The present square-based tower, about 30 metres high, was reconstructed near the original foundations. Though the clock no longer runs, the structure remains one of Gjakova’s most recognisable silhouettes and a natural meeting point for bazaar walks. Visit on foot from the city centre, no ticket required. Pair with Hadum Mosque and Hani i Haraçisë in the same hour. Estimated visit time: 15–20 min. City: Gjakovë, Kosovo. Coordinates: 42.3768, 20.4215.
