Baroque Gate Complex, Belgrade
The Baroque Gate Complex includes two gates: Clock Gate and Baroque Gate. It also includes the Clock Tower and two ramparts. The area was originally developed in 1688 but was given the existing Baroque reconstruction in 1739. This was when Baroque Gate was created.
The 90-foot clock tower was built at the same time as Clock Gate, between 1740 and 1789. It was built using the baroque architectural style. It is known as the first clock tower in the city. It remained a functioning clock tower through 2021 when it was damaged by lightning. The original hands are on display in the Institute for the Cultural Monuments Protection.
Both Baroque and Clock Gate were renovated in 2020. The roofs of the gates now offer access to the clock tower. The plateau on which the tower stands is decorated with glass lanterns that are illuminated at night.
