The Clock Tower is near the Mosque and it is situated in the courtyard of the high school building. It is one of the most important monuments of utilitarian architecture in Prishtina. The clock tower was built at the end of the 19th century near the place where the previous clock tower existed. In this clock tower an old bell was found which during their wars in Moldavia and Wallachia the Turks took it as booty, and as such they brought it to Vushtria and put it on the clock tower. As per order of Jashar Pasha, the bell was brought from Vushtrria to Prishtina. In the surface of the bell, a Romanian inscription since 1764 of Voivode Jan Moldovan was found, which means "This bell was wrought for Voivode Jan Moldovan in 1764". The letters are large, with a length of 2cm and they are stretched around the entire surface of the bell.

Clock Tower is located at the core of cultural-historical area of Prishtina. It is a building of cultural, historical and architectural value built in the 19th century. The Clock Tower is located in the central part of the ancient part of Prishtina near Mosque of King and it is situated in the courtyard of the high school building. It is one of the most important monuments of utilitarian architecture in Prishtina. The clock tower was built at the end of the 19th century near the place where the previous clock tower existed. The clock mechanism has functioned until the 70s, while it did not work until 2001 and at the same year the clock mechanism and bells were stolen, while since 2002 the clock mechanism has been replaced with digital clock. In this clock tower an old bell was found which during their wars in Moldavia and Wallachia the Turks took it as booty, and as such they brought it to Vushtria and put it on the clock tower. As per order of Jashar Pasha, the bell was brought from Vushtrria to Prishtina. In the surface of the bell, a Romanian inscription since 1764 of Voivode Jan Moldovan was found, which means "This bell was wrought for Voivode Jan Moldovan in 1764". The letters are large, with a length of 2cm and they are stretched around the entire surface of the bell. The bell is decorated with a large number of ornamentals similar to leaves of beech. Although it passed a long way and often changed places and headquarters, it was in good a condition and had no major damages. The Clock Tower is six-angle based building. Its height is 26m, walled by stone up to 16.5m height and with full bricks in the rest of the building. The structure of roof is from wood, covered with lead. In all facades of the tower clock, there are small circular openings. Corners of buildings are built with carved stones joined with lime mortar, and the surfaces in the middle are constructed with irregular stones, joined and plastered also with lime mortar.

In the part of clock tower built of brick, the stairs are wooden, indicating that this part was built later.
