The Tophane Clock Tower is a prominent landmark in the this small but important park. It is on a hill which overlooks the city of Bursa. Actually, there is a taller mountain on the other side of the city where the village of Cumalikizik is. However, this one near the city gives a better view since you will be much closer. There are no high rises here in the city so this is not going to be a breathtaking view. Still it is nice to be able to be high up and see the rest of the place. I don’t think I have been here long enough to recognize any landmarks in the city apart from the Grand Mosque.
I think it would be nice to be here at the park when it is night time since all the lights would be switched on. Unfortunately, I don’t have the luxury of time here in my visit to Bursa. I already wasted a lot of time getting lost. I know that there is still one more place I need to look at before I go and fortunately, it is in this park. I like how well maintained this place is and it is no surprise that this place is popular with the locals.
