Overview
The Albert Memorial Clock, erected in 1865, is one of Belfast’s best-known attractions. Built in a Gothic style to commemorate Prince Albert, the Albert Memorial Clock was built on reclaimed land along the River Lagan, a foundation that caused its well-known tilt. Standing 113 feet high, it once provided an elevated vantage point that allowed at least one onlooker to view the launch of RMS Titanic. The tower includes a statue of Prince Albert, ornate carved details such as crowned lions and floral motifs, and houses a two-tonne bell in its upper section.
