Constructed in the 17th century, the Clock Tower served both practical and symbolic purposes. Its clock, which was added later in the 19th century, helped regulate the daily lives of the citizens of Kotor.
The Clock Tower’s architecture reflects a mix of influences, including Venetian and Ottoman styles, which is characteristic of Kotor’s eclectic architectural landscape. The tower stands tall, providing a commanding presence in the square, and its bell chimes mark the passing of time, adding to the ambiance of the historic city center.
