About Clock Tower

The clock tower is a stand-alone, brick tower which was constructed in the 19th century so that citizens would know when it was time to pray and close up the shops.

When the original tower burnt to the ground, the same bricks were used to rebuild the 85-foot-tall replica.

The bell that hung in the tower was put there in 1764, but it mysteriously disappeared in 2001.

In 2001, seeing that the clock wasn’t accurately keeping time, the French troops installed an electric clock.
