The Manara Clock Tower is located in the middle of the central square (casbah) in the Old City of Nablus in front of as-Saraya government, next to the An-Nasr Mosque. It dates from the Ottoman period.
Five stories high, it was erected in 1900 AD / 1318 AH on the order of the Ottoman sultan Abdul Hamid II to celebrate his 25 years of reign. Other Palestinian cities were also given such a clock tower. The Manara Clock Tower is currently the symbol of the Municipality of Nablus .
