SARAJEVO CLOCK TOWER
A 30 m-high tower with four dials, an 1873 English lunar clock and a bell.
This 30 m high tower (Sarajevska Sahat-Kula) was erected in 1762 to replace the 17th century clock tower destroyed when the city was taken by Eugene of Savoy in 1697. It has four quadrants, an English clock with a lunar mechanism from 1873 that indicates the hours of prayer to Muslims and a bell ringing the end of the fast on the evenings of Ramadan. At the foot are the old imaret (soup kitchen) of the nearby mosque and the Imaret bakery.
