Clock Tower in Prishtina
The clock tower dates back to the 19th century. Following a fire, the tower has been reconstructed using bricks. The original bell was brought to Kosovo from Moldavia. It bore an inscription reading `this bell was made in 1764 for Jon Moldova Rumen`. In 2001, the original bell was stolen. The same year, French KFOR troops replaced the old clock mechanism with an electric one.
