    (Translated by Google) Lovely venue. The clock tower of Sahat Tepe is located in Plovdiv. It is one of the oldest in Europe and was built in the period 1578-1623. Its height is 17.5 m. From the Roman Stadium Square to the tower can be reached on foot in 5-6 minutes. In its current form it was built in 1812 and is 17.5 m high. In 1883 a new large clock, made in Vienna, was placed in it. (Original) Lovely venue.Часовниковата кула на Сахат тепе се намира в град Пловдив. Тя е една от най-старите в Европа и е издигната в периода 1578-1623г. Височината и е 17,5м. От площад Римски стадион до кулата се стига пеш за 5-6 мин. В сегашния си вид е построена през 1812г и е висока 17,5м. През 1883г в нея е поставен нов голям часовник, изработен във Виена.

    A beautiful place - a tower with a clock mechanism of the 19th century, on a hill above the city. It is impossible to climb the tower itself, it is closed. Views of the city - in all directions, it is incredibly beautiful.

    The Turkish clock tower built in the 16th century is one of the oldest in the eastern part of Europe. The earliest record is from 1623. It was rebuilt in its present shape in 1812 and is high 17.5 meters. It rang twice at noon. A new clock from Vienna was installed in 1883. It is at the Clock Hill or Sahat Tepe, from the Turkish word "saat", meaning "clock" or "hour". The tower is restored well and is maintained good so far. The hill is comparatively not steep or very high and is easy to access from the main street or near the street of the Protestant church. The views are very good.

    It's a tower... With a clock, it's old, there's a beggar sleeping next to it, it's good for pictures of the town. The tower building dates back to the early 19th century, the clock mechanism is Viennese and dates back to the late 19th century

    Good views from the top of the hill, shame you can't go inside but a beautiful piece of historic architecture.

  • 5/5 Georgi A. 7 years ago on Google
    There is plenty of benches to sit in the shade and also on the top of the hill. A nice panoramic view of the city will unfold before your eyes.

  • 5/5 Deniz K. 1 year ago on Google
    It's one of the seven hills of Plovdiv. It's literally in the heart of the city centre. Great sunset scenarios happening in here. Grab your drink and snacks, climb up there for a great view and atmosphere, especially in spring or autumn.

  • 4/5 Katie B. 9 months ago on Google
    Steep steps up to the clock tower but some nice views once there. Unfortunately when my frie d and I went, there was a man hiding in a bush who reappeared moments later naked.

  • 5/5 Marián A. 9 months ago on Google
    a very nice tower

  • 5/5 Derek 7 months ago on Google
    A short hike to the clock tower. Not really a lot to see but you can hike up several different trails to the top including the normal path. What makes this place great is being at the top and watching the sun set behind the distant mountains. It's a very special place for that. You can take stunning pictures and videos.

    A wonderful and peaceful place to relax

  • 4/5 Seth P. 5 years ago on Google
    The clock tower is just ok, but the view is great. It's worth the climb to the top of the hill.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful, but neglected park in the heart of the city! (Original) Красив, но занемарен парк в сърцето на града!

  • 3/5 Mihaela F. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Everything is very beautiful, but unsupported. There is junk everywhere along the alleys. Municipality Plovdiv apparently does not think that this park should be cleaned. (Original) Всичко е много красиво, но и неподдържано. Има боклуци навсякъде по алеите. Община Пловдив явно не смята, че трябва да се чисти и този парк.

    (Translated by Google) From the top there is a beautiful view, but overall the place looks a bit deserted (Original) От върха има красива гледка, но като цяло мястото изглежда малко запуснато

  • 4/5 Kostadin D. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent place to visit in spring or autumn. The climb is slightly steep but very short. There are separate benches and up the hill and the embankment. Generally, the hive is not particularly well maintained and neglected. The view from above is very good. I recommend carrying water and a hat if you visit during the warmer months. (Original) Отлично място за посещение през пролетта или есента. Изкачването е леко стръмно, но много кратко. Има обособени пейки и горе на тепето и по пътеката за качване. Като цяло тепето не е особено поддържано и е занемарено. Гледката отгоре е много добра. Препоръчвам да си носите вода и шапка ако посещавате през топлите месеци.
