The Albert Memorial Clock, a prominent feature of the Belfast skyline, stands at 43 meters (113 feet) tall, overlooking Queen’s Square and the River Lagan. Built on reclaimed marshland in the Victorian era, the clock tower has developed a noticeable slant over time, earning it the affectionate nickname of Belfast’s answer to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Visitors can admire its intricate stonework and the commanding presence it exerts over the city, making it a distinctive landmark that continues to draw attention.
