Big Ben

A meticulously restored 100-year-old clock, identical to the stolen one, is set to be installed within a month on the iconic clock tower in the southern province of Antalya, one of the major tourist attractions in the country.

In a collector's establishment in Istanbul, an actual duplicate of the missing original clock from the southern province of Antalya's famous clock tower has been discovered.

The ongoing restoration works on the historical clock tower in the southern province of Antalya have revealed that the original clock inserted on the outer surface of the tower at the beginning of the 20th century was stolen and a plastic clock was put instead.

A historical clock tower in Antalya, one of the landmarks of the touristic Mediterranean province, will return to its original state after undergoing restoration.

The 14-meter-high clock tower, located in the province's world-famous historical oldtown, carries the traces of the Roman, Seljuk, Ottoman and Republican eras.

A man tried to climb Big Ben but was arrested by law enforcement in London.

The strange incident took place around 4:00 pm local time, when police officers were called to the place of the popular clock tower. The signal was for a man trying to climb Big Ben, according to tweet published on London's police Twitter page.

One of London's iconic landmarks, the clock tower Big Ben, marks its 160th anniversary in silence. The reason is that the facility is under repair, according to bTV.

The 13.5 ton Great Bell was cast in the Whitechapel Foundry and first rang out in the capital on July 11 1859.

The chimes of London's iconic Big Ben, the bell that marks time in the clock over the Houses of Parliament, rang out again on Saturday after being silenced for restoration work, reported CNN.

The clock of the Westminster Palace in London, called Big Ben, will shut down for four years, Reuters reported.

So you have already been to İzmir and you think you have already exhausted the list of places to visit: Fish at the sea-front, the Clock Tower and, of course, Ephesus. Do come back, as there is more:

The famous chimes of Big Ben will fall silent next year as the 160-year-old parliamentary clock tower undergoes essential repairs as part of a 29 million-pound ($42 million) project. 

The tower will be partially covered in scaffolding for three years, although engineers plan to keep at least one of the four clock faces always visible.
