  • Excited to actually see the clock but not sure if it's working. The clock with its long history standing the length of time. Unfortunately when we visited it didn't tell the time.

  • Basic clock tower in the centre of a roundabout with surrounding gardens. Well maintained. A good reference point in town.

  • Everybody coming to Apia will encounter this well visible monument in a flowery roundabout in the center of the town. It is a building, which dates from the times of the 'Western Samoa Trust...

  • I had a wonderful time in Apia, Samoa. It is a beautiful city that blends old and new, with traditional Samoan houses and colonial churches as well as modern buildings and shops. I loved visiting the Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Apia, which is a stunning example of Gothic architecture. The stained glass windows and the paintings on the ceiling were amazing. I also enjoyed exploring the flea market, where I found some unique souvenirs and handicrafts. The vendors were very friendly and helpful, and I learned a lot about their culture and traditions. The only downside was that it was very hot and humid during my stay, so I had to drink a lot of water and wear sunscreen. I would highly recommend Apia to anyone who wants to experience a vibrant and diverse city in Samoa. It has something for everyone, whether you are interested in history, culture, nature, or shopping.
  • The Apia Clock Tower is a prominent landmark located in the city of Apia, Samoa. The clock tower was built in 1928 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the arrival of the London Missionary Society in Samoa. The tower is located in the center of the city and is a popular spot for visitors. The history of Apia is closely linked to the history of Samoa. The city was first settled by European traders and missionaries in the early 19th century. During the late 19th and early 20th century, Apia became an important commercial and administrative center for the island. The city played a significant role in the political and economic development of Samoa during this period. Cultural values are very important in Samoa, and this is reflected in the architecture and environment of Apia. The city center is characterized by its Victorian-style buildings, many of which were constructed during the colonial period. Examples of these include the Samoa Visitors Bureau and the Old Courthouse. The city also has many traditional Samoan fale (houses) that are built on stilts and feature thatched roofs. The environment of Apia is also very beautiful, with the city surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and pristine beaches. The Vaisigano river runs through the city, and the nearby mountains provide a picturesque backdrop. Visitors to Apia can enjoy hiking, swimming and snorkeling, as well as other outdoor activities. The city also has a number of parks and gardens, such as the Vaea Botanical Garden, which is a popular spot for picnics and bird watching. The Apia Clock Tower is not only a functional clock but also a historical and cultural symbol of the city and the island. The clock tower is a reminder of the important role played by the London Missionary Society in Samoa's history, and it continues to be an important landmark in the city today.
