Clock Tower of Dubrovnik

The Dubrovnik Bell Tower, located at the eastern end of the Stradun on Luža Square, is a prominent 31-meter-high structure that has served as a central timekeeping landmark for the city since the 15th century. Originally constructed in 1444 by local masters including Grubačević, Utišenović, and Radončić, the tower features a distinctive bronze bell mechanism.

In the 16th century, the two bronze figures known as 'Zelenci' (the Green Men) were added to strike the bell, becoming iconic symbols of the city. Following significant structural damage from earthquakes and the passage of time, the original tower was dismantled in the early 20th century and reconstructed in 1929 to replicate the original design, ensuring the preservation of this vital urban feature.
