The Clock Square (Kikar HaShaon) is one of the two main squares in Jaffa and your entrance to the Old City. The Square is part of the development process Jaffa went through during the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century while expanding beyond Jaffa walls.
It named after the Clock Tower that was built in the early 20th century by the Ottomans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Sultan Abdul Hamid II regime. Back then, the Square was surrounded by governmental institutions (as the Saraya House), shops, a market, and a mosque. It was a central transportation hub that connected Jaffa with other cities and first and foremost to Jerusalem.
