The Clocktower of Dunwall stands out significantly among the city's many old and crumbling buildings in the Estate District. It has a large metal lattice-style of architecture, which likely holds in the clocktower's mechanisms, and it can be seen from almost anywhere in Dunwall due to its elevated position.
Trivia
- The Clocktower is based on London's Elizabeth Tower, often referred to as Big Ben.

- During Corvo's time in the Estate District, the clocktower rings four times at regular intervals.
- The Clocktower's bell sound is identical to the bell sound in Team Fortress 2 used for halloween maps.
- The Clocktower can be fully seen in the Void during the introduction of The Knife of Dunwall, None Like Her.
- Despite its iconic appearance, the Clocktower is never directly visited, though it was originally intended to be part of a Parliament mission that was cut from the final game.[1]
