Medrese Mahallesi: Yozgat Clock Tower
Yozgat straddles a series of hills on the Central Anatolian Plateau, and its sloping setting has concentrated civic life around the old centre. The Yozgat Clock Tower, an Ottoman-era landmark completed in 1908, stands at the heart of this urban core; its stone shaft remains a familiar symbol of the provincial capital. Streets around the tower bring together municipal buildings, shops and apartment blocks, illustrating a city that has long served as Yozgat Province’s administrative centre. On the edge of town, Yozgat Çamlığı National Park protects pine woodland, creating a contrast with the dense streets of Medrese Mahallesi.
