List of clock towers
This is a list of clock towers by location, including only clock towers based on the following definition:
A clock tower is a tower specifically built with one or more clock faces. Clock towers can be either freestanding or part of a church or municipal building such as a town hall.
The mechanism inside the tower is known as a turret clock which often marks the hour by sounding large bells or chimes, sometimes playing simple musical phrases or tunes.
