Popis:

Every market town in the Ottoman Empire needed a clock tower so the faithful knew when to pray and shops could all close and reopen at the same time so that no trader got any advantage from staying open longer. Pristina's 19th century, 26-metre high clock tower looks very similar to the one in Skopje. It was built by Jashar Pasha beside the mosque bearing his name in the centre of the old bazaar area, and was made with sandstone and bricks. The original bell, which originated from Moldova, was stolen in 2001. A new clock was installed with help of the French KFOR troops, and seeing it runs on electricity we were quite surprised that it indicated the correct time on all of its faces when we last checked.
