Towers

Clock towers

Clock towers in Albania were typically situated in the most vibrant and noticeable areas of cities, such as marketplaces, near the main mosques, and occasionally even within castles. They were considered landmarks or reference points, in contrast to the neighborhood and the city as a whole. The construction of these important urban structures was driven by a growing demand from the civic society at the time. [41]
