Sultan Abdul Samad Building Clock Tower, Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur’s central clock tower is part of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building on Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square). The structure soars to a height of 41 metres (135 feet) in the heart of the city centre. After officially opening in 1897 on Queen Victoria’s Jubilee Parade, this is a testament to their colonial heritage.
