Take a tour of Clocktower of Graz in Graz, Austria – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

An iconic figure of Graz, Austria is the city's recognizable and distinctive clock tower.
This fascinating landmark is a beloved piece of the city and a unique feature.
The tower originally only had an hour hand, so its minute hand is actually the shorter of the two.
In the mid 16th century, the tower itself was built; the clock was added a vast number of year later.
It is one of the few structures that was not destroyed by Napoleon's invading armies.
Today, the clock tower provides an excellent view from Schlossberg, Graz's largest hill.
