    Land mark of clock......Kollam Clock Tower is a major landmark in the town of Kollam and it stands high in the heart of the town. This tower has become a symbol of Kollam District, a sort of non-official emblem. The quadrangular tower was built by the natives in honor of Unichakam Veedu K G Parameshwaran Pillai, the former chairman of Kollam Municipality from 1932 to 1948. The construction was started in 1941 and completed in 1944. Built with brick and white cement, it has the distinction of being the first clock tower of the erstwhile Travancore. The four big clocks placed on the sides were brought from Kolkata and its origin can be traced to Britain.

    Donated by the Public around 1900s, it still remains the main icon of Kollam, for its past glory and current revival. In between Thangaserry lighthouse was used as by kollam city corporation as the clock tower was in neglect. Visible from anywhere in city centre, your eyes arent gonna miss this one. Like most monuments, it was neglected post independence and gladly revived again last year as a part of initiative to preserve our heritage. Currently entry to top is closed to public. The original clock machinery has been replaced but the charm remains.
