Bab al-Faraj Clock Tower (Arabic: برج ساعة باب الفرج) is one of the main landmarks of Aleppo, Syria.
[1][2] It is located near the historical gate of Bab al-Faraj, adjacent to the building of the National library.
[3] Its construction was encouraged by Sultan Abdul Hamid II in order to mark the modern era of timeliness.
[4] The tower was inaugurated in 1900 on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Sultan's accession to the throne.
The design of the tower resembles the old Islamic minarets with four similar façades, topped with traditional oriental muqarnas.
