The monumental Clock Tower of the city was built in 1905 on the initiative of Osman Pasha the Kurd. Its elegant architecture combines elements of neoclassical architecture with features of the oriental features. The design and supervision of the construction work of the clock tower was done by the architect Periklis Melirrytos, from Ioannina. Its original position was in the centre of the square of the lower part of the city, but in the summer of 1918 during a parade, a heavy cannon dragged by six horses deviated from its course and caused damage to the Clock Tower. The general commander of Epirus and later High Commissioner of Smyrna Aristidis Stergiadis ordered so as to move the clock to its present location. Periklis  Melirrytos supervised the restoration of the monument exactly in the form it had in its original position (1925). The bell that was placed on the top of the construction, was originally located in the Clock Tower, above the...

The clock tower of Ioannina is a remarkable historical monument. It is located Located in the memorial park of the city near to the military base. The tower was erected at 1905 by Osman Pasha the Kurd, that was the commander of Epirus and southern Albania at that period and it was made for celebrating the Jubilee of Sultan Abdul Chamit (the 34th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire). It was originaally erected in the center of the square and not on the current location, but it was transfered to the current location at 1922, during a parade to celebrate the victory of the Allies in the First World War. It is very nice to walk in the memorial park and to see thebeautiful statues and the monoments of the greek warriors along the late...

Rezension für den Clock Tower of Ioannina – 3 Sterne

⛈️ Der Turm, das Taxi und die tückischen Tiefen von Ioannina 🕰️🚖

Stellt euch vor: ein regnerischer Tag in Ioannina, an dem die Götter offenbar beschlossen hatten, ihre Badewannen gleichzeitig auszuleeren. Wir, zwei durchnässte Reisende auf der Flucht vor dem nassen Weltuntergang, klammerten uns an die letzten Reste unserer Würde – und an den Rücksitz eines griechischen Taxis, das mit mehr Mut als Bodenfreiheit versuchte, durch die überschwemmten Straßen zu navigieren.

Ioannina war kein Ort mehr, sondern ein riesiges Planschbecken. Bürgersteige verschwanden unter Wasser, Schirme klappten wie nasse Fledermäuse in sich zusammen, und selbst Katzen trugen Schwimmflügel. Doch dann – wie aus dem Nebel einer mythischen Erzählung – tauchte er auf: Der Uhrturm.

Er stand da wie ein trotziges Relikt vergangener Zeiten, elegant, erhoben, als ob ihn der Regen nichts anginge. Während das Taxi uns durch knietiefe Pfützen schaukelte, erhaschten wir einen Blick auf das majestätische Bauwerk. Der weiße Stein glänzte unter dem grauen Himmel, die Uhr zeigte stoisch die Stunde der Hoffnung an, und die Glocken schlummerten in weiser Zurückhaltung – vermutlich, um die melancholische Stimmung nicht zu stören.

Wir stiegen aus. Eine schlechte Idee. Innerhalb von Sekunden waren unsere Schuhe mit dem gesamten Wetterbericht der letzten Woche gefüllt. Der Rasen rund um den Turm glich einem Sumpf, der nur darauf wartete, uns in seine griechische Tiefsee zu ziehen. Dennoch hielten wir inne. Der Turm war wirklich schön. Würdevoll. Zeitlos.

Aber ganz ehrlich: Wären wir zu Fuß gekommen, wir wären jetzt Amphibien. Nur dank unseres heldenhaften Taxifahrers, der durch das Wasser fuhr, als sei er der Kapitän eines Land-U-Boots, konnten wir diesen Moment überhaupt erleben.

Fazit: 🕰️ Turm: 5 Sterne 🌧️ Wetter: 0 Sterne 🚖 Taxi-Abenteuer: 3,5 Sterne 👟 Nasse Socken: inklusive

Schöner Turm, ja. Aber ich empfehle dringend: nur bei Trockenwetter besuchen – oder ein...

Πηγαίνοντας στα Γιάννενα αποκλείεται να μην παρατηρήσεις το Ρολόι της πόλης, ή να μην το ακούσεις να αναφέρεται στις παρέες ως σημείο συνάντησης. Λίγοι όμως γνωρίζουν την ιστορία του, πότε αυτό χτίστηκε, από ποιον, και ποια ήταν η αρχική του θέση. Αρχικά το Ρολόι ήταν χτισμένο σε θέση βόρεια της σημερινής πλατείας, στη συμβολή της κεντρικής πλατείας με την οδό Αβέρωφ. Σχεδιάστηκε και κατασκευάστηκε από το σπουδαίο αρχιτέκτονα Περικλή Μελίρρυτο, ο οποίος κατασκεύασε μερικά από τα σημαντικότερα δημόσια και ιδιωτικά κτίρια της πόλης των Ιωαννίνων, όπως το Καπλάνειο Μέγαρο, την Παλιά Ζωσιμαία Σχολή, και την Παπαζόγλειο Υφαντική Σχολή. Το Ρολόι έγινε κατά παραγγελία του Οσμάν Πασά του Κούρδου, που υπήρξε Γενικός Διοικητής Ηπείρου και Αλβανίας, το 1905, με την ευκαιρία των Ιωβηλαίων του Σουλτάνου Αβδούλ Χαμίτ Β’. Αποτελείται από έναν κομψό διάτρητο πυργίσκο που είναι μείγμα νεοκλασικού και ανατολίτικου ρυθμού. Παρατηρώντας το, μπορεί κανείς να δει στο πάνω μέρος του ένα πέτρινο ωραίο κιγκλίδωμα, ενώ οι μικρές κολώνες του, που στηρίζουν το θόλο, είναι από χυτό σίδηρο και φέρουν πολυγωνικά κιονόκρανα. Η καμπάνα του είναι βενετσιάνικη. Στις τέσσερις πλευρές του υπάρχουν εντοιχισμένες πλάκες με οθωμανικά σύμβολα, καθώς και κρήνες. Εν γένει, πρόκειται για μία άρτια κατασκευή που είναι κράμα τριών πολιτισμών, και γι’ αυτό το λόγο θεωρείται υπόδειγμα νεοκλασικού κτίσματος.
