The Arusha Clock Tower, located at the center of Arusha, Tanzania, is a prominent symbol of the city. It's said to stand at the midpoint between Cairo, Egypt, and Cape Town, South Africa. Erected during the British rule in East Africa, it marked the times when goods were auctioned. Post-independence, it took on symbolic significance, standing as a beacon of freedom and unity. Today, the Clock Tower remains a vital part of Arusha's identity, capturing its colonial past, present dynamism, and hopeful future.
