The Clock Tower, Sahat Tepe Hill from above - Plovdiv, Bulgaria

This place got its name because of a small clock tower situated on one of its tops. It is one of the oldest functioning clock towers on the Balkan peninsula. It dates back all the way to the 16th century when even cities like Thessaloniki, Odrin and nowadays Istanbul (the Dolmabahçe Clock Tower dates back to the end of the 19th century) did not have such. Firstly, the clock tower was made of wood. But even before that, the hill had clocks. There have been a water clock and a sun clock during the Roman period.
