Clock Tower of Korçë

The Clock Tower of Korçë (Albanian: Kulla e sahatit e Korçës) is a historic Ottoman Turkish clock tower dating from the 18. century recently being rebuilt near the Old Bazaar in the Albanian town of Korçë.

The clock tower was built in 1784 after an agreement between Muslim Albanians and Orthodox Moscolopans (Moscopole was a centre of the Aromanian minority in Albania), and was part of the Mosque Complex of Iliaz Hodja built in 1490.

The tower was made of stone and had a typical Ottoman style. It was destroyed during the communist dictatorship of Enver Khoja due to an earthquake on May 21, 1960. Since 2015, had been being rebuilt.
