One of the most well known landmarks of a landmark square in Malacca. This is a simple clock tower built by the British and is painted red like the rest of the building in Dutch Square. The building is 3 storeys high with windows and doors on the lowest level, windows in the 2nd level and a clock on all 4 sides of the tower on the 3rd level. The tower is topped with a Malay style sloping roof. It’s a cute little landmark in the city, but nothing amazing. Better your photo taken with the tower will suffice.

Same with other buildings, the Clock Tower building is also red and still functioning. This clock used to be the main clock for the citizens of Melacca.
The clock tower is located adjacent to the Victoria fountain and next to the Clock tower is the sign "I Love Melaka" which is often to for spot photos. Therefore this place is suitable as a meeting point.

Nothing overly ornate or special here..An old clock tower that still is functioning. Part of the Dutch square so you not miss seeing it.

Located in the touristic spot in the middle of Malacca city. Well decorated with its pink color. It rings from time to time. It’s also known as Red Clock Tower.

Dates back to 1883 as a gift to the people of Melaka - of Dutch design and central to Dutch Square and painted red to keep in time with the theme of the surrounding buildings - have a quick look when passing

A good landmark in the city of Malacca, the clock tower is frequented by tourists for clicks & selfies. It is located in the heart of the city and is also a good meeting point for guides who let their guests stroll around the town.

Another nice landmark in Red Square and still in red of course.
It's located just next to the Queen Victoria's Fountain.

The clock tower is the epic monument at the Dutch Square. It is still working and shows correct time. Painted red, it adds to the all red theme of the place.

This can be easy to miss as it doesn't stand out from the surrounding buildings it blends in. It took a couple of times walking through the area for me to notice it but then again I wasn't looking out specifically for it. It is nice and matches the surrounding buildings design and colour. It has a clock which tells the time. It is not far from the bridge or the other statues in the middle of the cows and windmill.
