THE CLOCK TOWER :

Behind the Governorship building high above the Sarayüstü Hill rests an important focal point of the city, the Clock Tower. It was built in 1885 while Abdurrahman Pasha vas the governor of Kastamonu. There is a legend surround this tower that this clock once was in Istanbul. In the late 1800s its bell made such a loud noise that the sultan princes who was living near it at the time got scared and resulted a miscarriage of her baby. Therefore as punishment to the clock it was sent to Kastamonu far away from Istanbul. However, never minding the legend, the tea you will sip in its gardens will provide you the best view of Kastamonu.
