The Clock Tower commemorates the 1875 visit of the Prince of Wales, the future Edward VII, to Ceylon. It was built the following year. The Moorish style tower was designed by Mr Smither, the government architect. Sir James Longdon, administrator of the island from 1877 to 1884, donated the clockwork. The tower suffered extensive damage during the Civil War. Following the ceasefire in 2002, Prince Charles of England offered one million rupees for the repair of the building and the replacement of the four destroyed clocks.

Proche de la bibliothèque et du fort, elle sert de repère dans la ville par sa hauteur et sa blancheur.
