Now a commonwealth country, Seychelles used to be part of the British empire hence lots of British names around the Seychelles, like Victoria for instance. In the main square, they have a smaller version of London's Big Ben, their original way for the Seychois to remember their islands history. Really smart.

A nice replica of the Clock tower from London...no, not the famous Big Ben but the orignial clock that stood in London years back. Few know it by the name by the name Lorloz. It's located on a small roundabout, which is a practical yet not elegant location. In general this shows Seychelles is not a place to look for... More

This is a good point to meet with somebody who doesn't know the city. Clock Tower is in the straight center and everybody knows this place. )

This clock tower in the middle of the main street of the capital Victoria is a replica of Big Ben in London but on a much smaller scale. It keeps accurate time as well. Other than knowing its historical background and posing for photos in front of it there is little else to recommend it.

Do not make a special trip to see this - it is small and the intersection is busy. If you are visiting Victoria, target the market and the Hindu temple instead. Much more interesting.

a nice clock yes but what can you say about a clock. It's definitely a four star clock. Yes. 4 stars worth of clock.

I have to say that I am merely disappointed with this landmark, because it is just a clock in a tower. That's all.
