The Khan Clock Tower in Colombo, Sri Lanka, built by the Khan Family of Bombay, is a well-known landmark at the entrance to Pettah Market. Constructed in the early 20th century, it stands four stories high and once featured a working water fountain. The tower was dedicated to Framjee Bhikhajee Khan by his sons as a token of gratitude to the citizens of Colombo. Although the fountain no longer functions, the clock tower remains a popular sight for locals and tourists alike.
