The clock tower dates from 1901-2. It was constructed at the southwest corner of the inner castle by half knocking down the tower there and then filling it. There are four sections to the tower that outwardly resembles a minaret. Clock towers did not appear in the Ottoman empire until the 19th century, the first examples in Anatolia are even from the early 20th century, accelerated by an edict of Sultan Abdulhamit in the 25th year of his accession. Only 50 of the then current style exist.
