About the Botevgrad Clock Tower
The clock tower of Botevgrad is the symbol of the town, stands in its very center, and belongs to the list of 100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria. The master Vuno Markov, from Vrachesh, built it in 1866, when Bulgaria was still under Ottoman rule, as part of large-scale construction after the village of Samundjievo was declared a town and district center on the proposal of Midhat Pasha. The local ironmonger Gencho Nakov made the clock mechanism, and the master Lazar Dimitrov of Bansko made the bell.
The tower has three proportional sections and reaches 30 m, which makes it Bulgaria's tallest clock tower. The lower section is square and 11 m high, built of stone masonry with a door for servicing and winding the clock. The narrower middle section has half-columns on its edges and slightly wave-shaped walls. The hexagonal upper section houses the clock and the bell, and a weather-cock was placed on top in 1870. Baroque elements and blue frescoes decorate the cornices.
The clock still rings every hour, with a number of bell rings matching the hour, and the bell can be heard within a radius of 3 km. The original mechanism is on display at the Botevgrad History Museum, and the present one was built by craftsmen from the Etar Architectural-Ethnographic Complex. Wooden spiral stairs lead from the entrance up to the clock mechanism.
