The Clock is a historical landmark, located in a square. If you look at photos of Belfast during the industrial period, you'll see a lot of photos of this clock, which is awesome! The Clock is within walking distance from Titanic museum. Besides, it was located at one end of the square, and very close to the Big Fish, the Salmon of Knowledge, which was another awesome landmark.

The Albert Memorial Clock is a clock tower situated at Queen's Square in Belfast. It was completed in 1869 and is one of the best known landmarks of Belfast. It is sometimes described as Belfast’s answer to Pisa’s leaning tower, its tilt caused by the fact it is constructed on reclaimed land from the River Farset and weighs over 2,000 tonnes. Erected between 1865 and 1869 in Gothic style to commemorate Queen Victoria’s consort, Prince Albert, it was tall enough at 141ft (43m), to offer an excellent vantage point for at least one enterprising sightseer to get a birds-eye view of Titanic’s launch. As well as including a statue of Prince Albert also boasts a number of ornately carved crowned lions, angels, gargoyles and floral decorations. Its bell weighs 2 tonnes and can be heard from over 8 miles away.

The Albert Memorial Clock Tower is a monument in memory of Queen Victoria's late Prince Consort, Prince Albert. This is one of the landmarks of Belfast, partly because of it imitation of the leaning of Pisa. As others have mentioned, the tower has a lean because it was built of wooden piles on marshy land. The tower has a distinctly Gothic architectural style with it's souring lines, especially nearer the base with arches mimicking the arches of a ceiling. At the front, facing away from the river is a statue of Albert in a regal portrait pose. All around the tower are ornately carved crowned lions, angels, gargoyles and floral decorations. Definitely worth seeing if in Belfast.
