Clock Tower·Modern, Urban, Busy
Inaugurated in August 2021, the Old Market Circle Clock Tower is a contemporary landmark situated at the heart of Madgaon, Goa.

It is most popular during the late evening hours when it is illuminated, creating a vibrant focal point for the surrounding Old Market neighborhood. While it is a 'nice, cute' addition to the city, visitors should be aware that it is located on a busy traffic island.

It is best viewed as a quick photo stop while exploring the bustling streets of Margao.

The Old Market Circle Clock Tower in Madgaon is a landmark that draws mixed reactions for its design and location. Many visitors describe it as a 'charming' and 'nice cute' structure, particularly noting its blue and white facade. A major highlight for many is the evening illumination, with reviewers suggesting it 'glows beautifully' after dark. However, the site is also subject to criticism regarding urban planning, with some claiming it is a 'badly designed traffic island' that blocks views of traffic signals. Safety is a concern for pedestrians, who are advised to cross the surrounding busy roads at their own risk. While it serves as a modern symbol of the city's growth, the immediate environment is sometimes described as having issues with cleanliness.
