The Victorian Gothic-style Clock Tower is an icon of the old Cape Town harbour. It was the original Port Captain's Office built in 1882. The pointed Gothic window surrounds the structure with a clock, imported from Edinburgh, as a main feature. On the ground floor is a tidal gauge mechanism which was used to check the level of the tide for ships entering or leaving the docks. And on the second floor there is a decorative mirror room which allowed the captain an overall view of harbour activities. The tower was a focal point in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront's urban renewal programme, since when it has become South Africa’s most-visited destination.
