clock tower
Tall timepiece structure
A clock tower is a tall structure, often freestanding or attached to a building, featuring a large clock face visible from a distance.
Clock towers serve as landmarks and public timekeepers in town squares, train stations, and institutional buildings: Big Ben is London's most famous clock tower.
Many also have bells that chime the hour.
