The Town Clock in Sliven

The town clock is one of the most significant symbols of the town of Sliven with a particularly attractive presence in the town’s center. The construction of the new Municipal house, above which the clock tower raises, was finished in 1936. Three years later the clock mechanism and the round face of the town clock were installed inside the clock tower. The old clock was made in 1808 by the skillful hands of Atanas “the clockmaker” helped by the significant contribution of the local people, as today only the bell has left. Nowadays the town clock continues to count the hours of the present time and reminds of the past. For more than sixty years the town clock has been measuring the exact time in the city.
