About Aberdeen Clock Tower
Aberdeen Clock Tower is a historic colonial-era clock tower located in Aberdeen Bazaar, the central commercial area of Sri Vijaya Puram (formerly Port Blair) in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Built during British rule, it stands at a busy intersection and serves as a prominent city landmark and orientation point. Painted in distinctive colours and topped with a clock, it reflects the town's colonial heritage and remains a popular stop for visitors exploring the city centre.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small, freestanding clock tower situated at a busy road junction in the heart of Aberdeen Bazaar, surrounded by shops, markets and street traffic. The tower is painted in yellow and red tones with a clock face on each side and is illuminated in the evening. There is no interior to enter; the visit involves viewing and photographing the structure from the street and exploring the surrounding bazaar area on foot.
