The Clock Tower (Albanian: Sahatkulla) in Pristina, Kosovo, was built in the 19th century[1][2][3] by Jashar Pasha,[4] after whom the Mosque is named not far from the Clock Tower. It served as a means of informing the town during the Ottoman Empire rule, in order to let people know when to pray as well as the traders closing their shops. The 26-meter high hexagonal[5] clock tower was made of sandstone and bricks.[6] The original tower was burned in fire and its bricks were used for reconstruction.[7][8] The authentic bell was brought from Moldavia and has an inscription mentioning this fact.[9] However, the circumstances of how the bell was brought to Pristina are not clearly known; its theft in 2001 is even more unclear.[10] The same year, French KFOR troops assisted in installing a new clock by changing the old clock mechanism with an electric one.[11]
