The Montreal Clock Tower is a 45-metre tall lighthouse-style structure in the Old Port, built in 1922 to honour Canadian sailors who served in World War I. Its design resembles a maritime beacon, and it stands at the entrance to the port. Visitors can climb the 192 steps to the top for sweeping views of the river, the city skyline, and the surrounding area. The tower is a popular photo spot and a symbol of Montreal's waterfront heritage.
