Clock towers were first built in Ottoman territories in the 16th century and would often also function as barometers, windmills, compasses, fire watchtowers or meeting points. After the decleration of the Republic of Turkey, cities were built around clock towers, especially in Anatolia. Only 52 of 144 clock towers built during the Ottoman period still exist today.

Saat kuleleri Osmanlı topraklarında 16. yüzyılda görülmeye başlandı; saatçiliğe meraklı olan II. Abdülhamid’in tahta çıkışının 25. yıl dönümünde (1901) valilere gönderdiği “irade” (ferman) ile vilayet ve sancaklara yayıldı. Halkın görebileceği yüksek bir tepeye, şehrin en kalabalık meydanına ya da kale, cami gibi tarihî yapıların üstüne inşa edilen saat kuleleri, aynı zamanda barometre, rüzgâr gülü, pusula, yangın gözetleme yeri ve buluşma noktası işlevi görürdü. Cumhuriyet’le birlikte özellikle Anadolu’daki kentler, kuleler çevresinde meydan oluşturulacak şekilde kurulmuştur. Osmanlı döneminde yapılan 144 saat kulesinden 52’si günümüze ulaşmıştır.
