Jam Gadang
Jam Gadang is the clock tower in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra, which the provincial government calls the icon of the city.
Why go
This record is the tower, not the plaza (pelataran) around it. A West Sumatra provincial government news report from June 2025 calls Jam Gadang the icon of Bukittinggi and notes that its clock face writes the numeral four as 'IIII' rather than 'IV'. The Bukittinggi city government lists Jam Gadang among the city's historical sights, alongside Fort de Kock and the Japanese tunnels (Lobang Jepang). Wikidata records 1925 as its inception date. XTOUR states nothing about whether the tower interior can be visited.
