Buyuk Saat is a historic clock tower located in the old town in Adana. With a height of 32m, it is also the tallest clock tower in Turkey. Its construction began in 1879 and was completed in 1882 during the Ottoman era.
Designed by two Armenian architects, the tower has stood as a major landmark in Adana since then. The busy streets and the lack of a pedestrian area at its base may not allow you to stay for long, but the imposing presence of the tower is undoubtedly a sight to behold.
It is also surrounded by many artisanal shops and stores where you can shop for a souvenir or saunter into one of the cafes as you take in the atmosphere of the old town.
