🕰️ Timeless Beauty of İzmir: The Saat Kulesi 🏛️✨

Right in the heart of Konak Square, the Saat Kulesi (Clock Tower) stands as one of İzmir’s most iconic landmarks — a true symbol of the city’s spirit and elegance.

Built in 1901 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Sultan Abdülhamid II’s reign, this stunning 25-meter-high Ottoman-style tower was designed by the French architect Raymond Charles Père. The elegant details, marble columns, and intricate ornaments reflect a perfect blend of Ottoman and European architecture.

Surrounded by palm trees and pigeons, the tower creates a magical atmosphere, especially at sunset, when the golden light touches its stones — a perfect spot for photos and peaceful moments. 📸💛

Whether you’re exploring Konak or just passing by, don’t miss the charm of Saat Kulesi — the beating heart of İzmir. #saatkulasi #izmir #turkey #historicallandmarks #localguides #mustvisit #seaview #clocktower
