clock tower
This tower was built in 1958 for the sole purpose of helping farmers who work in their fields to know the time of day from wherever they stood. The clock was operating with hourly bell chimes until the outbreak of the Lebanese civil war in 1975 when the bell was stolen. The clock tower was restored after the war but the local people were annoyed by the sound of its bell, especially at night, and so it has been brought to a standstill.
