Constructed in 1865 in the striking Gothic style to honor Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, the Albert Memorial Clock stands as a fascinating piece of history on reclaimed land from the River Lagan. Interestingly, it was built on wooden piles, which has led to its distinctive tilt. This quirky lean makes it one of Belfast's most intriguing landmarks, often compared to a miniature Leaning Tower of Pisa. While you're there, take a moment to admire the intricate carvings and statues that adorn the clock, each telling a part of Belfast's rich history. The surrounding area is bustling with local cafes and shops, perfect for a leisurely stroll after you've snapped a few photos.
