Büyük Saat is a historical clock tower in Adana, rising 32 m (105 ft) high. The tower symbolizes the modernization of the city, which lasted from 1863 to the Adana massacre. During this period many Ottoman and European businesses moved to the city for the exploding cotton trade. The tower was constructed by the mayor Kirkor Bezdikyan on the main street who was credit for starting the first modern municipal governance. Bezdikyan was also the architect of the tower together with another Armenian architect Kasbar Agha Bezdikyan.
