Behind the Et'hem Bey mosque. Small clock-making museum and two-hundred-step staircase to admire the city and Mount Dajti.
This Ottoman tower (Kulla e Sahatit) is one of the capital's landmark buildings. Construction began in 1821-1822, and was entrusted to Haxhi Et'hem Bey, who commissioned the nearby mosque. In 1928, the Albanian government purchased a new clock, and the tower was raised to its current height of 35m. Damaged during the Second World War, it was restored in 1946. It now houses a small clock museum. At the top of the two-hundred-step staircase, fine views of Tirana and Mount Dajti, unfortunately spoiled by recent buildings.

The tower was completely restored and is now accessible.
In fact, this summer, we wanted to visit this tower, and, although the times of tours is indicated, clearly the us understand that it was not possible to enter there
