Since its installation in 1803, Halifax’s Old Town Clock has been a steadfast timekeeper for the city, manually wound twice a week. Its chimes resonate through the downtown area, adding a rhythmic soundtrack to the urban landscape. Situated in the heart of downtown, the clock is distinguished by its copper dome and Palladian symmetry, set against a bright white exterior. Today, visitors can admire this beloved landmark, a testament to the city’s rich history and architectural heritage.
