    This Clock Tower isn't very big, stands alone on a large square and is well maintained. The tower brings us back in the colonial periods such as also other buildings that surrounds the square.

    It's just a clock tower. I don't think you can exactly park besides it. Just take a picture for remembrance and go.

    and attractive colours. Easily spotted when in town. Like the shade of yellow paint used. Kind of stubby in design.

  • By Jeremiah Seelan
    Build in 1912, this clock tower has a very nice architecture and design. Its initial function was to aid the Zahir Mosque in establishing the correct time for prayer.
  • By Mabubak Bubak
    Door facade has always caught my attention and this structure surely has it. Time keeper in the past and has witnessed so many important events that took place here.
