Blagoevgrad Clock Tower is one of the oldest clock towers in Bulgaria. It is a Renaissance building and is one of the symbols of Blagoevgrad. It was built in 1867 by masters from Maleshevo. The tower has a unique Swiss clock mechanism, also made in the nineteenth century. It represents a quadrangular, rugged pyramid with a copper-lined roof. The main part of the building is stone masonry, but the dials are installed on wooden construction. In 2009 the Municipality of Blagoevgrad made a complete repair of the tower installing a lighting of the dial, the bell tower and the walls of the tower.
