Standing proudly at a height of 20 meters (66 feet), this magnificent structure is constructed entirely out of marble and fine Hereke stone. As you gaze upon it, you'll notice the intricate tughra, the calligraphic emblem of Sultan Abdülhamid II, adorning the front face of the tower. It's a timeless symbol of his reign and the importance he placed on this hospital.
The Etfal Hospital Clock Tower is not only a testament to the architectural brilliance of Mehmet Şükrü Bey, the skilled architect behind its construction, but also a reminder of the rich history of this area.
