BURDUR CLOCK TOWER

B.C. The time meter entered our lives in the 4000s by the Egyptians and left us with analogue and digital clocks trying to capture the time with the hands and hands of the time or how fast the time passed.

In 1830, by the governor of Konya, Burdur Clock Tower was built as the first analogue clock in the region. The clock tower, which was destroyed in the 1914 earthquake, was rebuilt by Kâhyaoğlu Hacı Ali Emir Bey in 1936-1937.

The tower used as a shop at the bottom has a square plan and was built from cut stones. The tower is about 30-35 m in height. The tower, which contracted in the form of six knuckles from the ground up to the realm, was placed on the fourth floor of the tower on the fourth floor, each facing the four sides of the city.
