One of the earliest works belonging to the Saltukid Dynasty in Erzurum, Erzurum Clock Tower was originally built as a minaret in the 12th century, called the Tepsi Minaret.
It was damaged in the Crimean War and in 1877 it received a clock from England and was turned into the clock tower you see today.
It was built by Mayor Tevfikzade Ahmet Bey in 1908. Four clocks face out in four directions, telling the time for the whole city from whichever direction you are facing.
