The Cunningham Clock Tower, erected in 1900, stands as a striking Victorian-era landmark in the heart of Peshawar. Named after Sir George Cunningham, a British political officer, the tower features Gothic and Mughal architectural elements, with a four-faced clock that still keeps time. Visitors can admire its red-brick and stone façade, and the surrounding gardens offer a pleasant spot to rest. It's a popular meeting point and a symbol of the city's colonial history.
