Introduction

Konak Clock Tower stands in the middle of Konak Square, built in 1901 for the twenty-fifth anniversary of Sultan Abdülhamid II's accession and designed by the French architect Raymond Charles Péré. The 25-metre marble shaft carries North African and Andalusian detailing, the clock faces were a gift from Kaiser Wilhelm II, and the small fountains at its base still run. Pigeons crowd the square, with the tiny Konak Mosque and the ferry pier alongside — İzmir's most photographed corner.
