Clock Tower

The Clock Tower was built to control the old harbor. On the first level of the building, several mirrors were placed, so the operator could see every corner of the harbor. On the groundfloor they have built a tide measurement scale, so the operator could constantly watch the tide.

The Clock Tower is one of the best known victorian style buildings in Cape Town. In 1997 the building recieved a complete restauration, nowadays it is a small landmark at the V&A Waterfront.
