A clock tower was built on top of Macedonia Tower, one of the largest towers of Edirne Castle, on the order of Governor Hacı İzzet Paşa in 1884. This 48m tall tower had an octagonal plan with windows on every level. The clock, produced in France, was mounted in 1886. When the original wooden construction was destroyed by fire, the tower was rebuilt in 1894 from stone and brick and the clock renewed in 1926. Due to its neo-classical architecture its appearance differed from other Ottoman clock towers. In 1953 the tower was again partially destroyed, this time by an earthquake. Following a report by İstanbul Technical University, that studied the tower’s structure, silhouette and lack of heritage status, the decision was made to tear it down on July 6, 1953.

Saatli Kule 1884’te, Edirne Kalesi’nin dört büyük burcundan Makedonya Kulesi’nin üstüne inşa edildi. Dönemin Edirne Valisi Hacı İzzet Paşa tarafından ahşap olarak yaptırıldı. Neo-klasik mimari özellikleriyle Osmanlı zamanında yapılan diğer saat kulelerinden ayrılmaktaydı. 48 metre yüksekliğindeki sekizgen planlı kulenin her katında aydınlatma pencereleri, son katında ise her yöne bakan saat kadranları vardı. Fransa’ya ısmarlanan saati, ancak iki yıl sonra monte edilebildi. Yapımından kısa bir süre sonra çıkan bir yangında hasar gören kule, 1894’te taş ve tuğla ile yeniden inşa edildi; 1926’da da saati yenilendi. Haziran 1953’te Edirne Depremi’nde büyük hasar gördü. İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi’nden alınan bir rapor doğrultusunda, abidelerin yakınında ve silueti bozuyor olması, sanatsal değer taşımaması ve tamiri için ayrılacak masrafın gereksiz görülmesi gibi gerekçelerle Temmuz 1953’te dinamitlenerek yıkıldı.
