Shkodra's most peculiar sight is the small stone clock tower near the Al-Zamil Mosque. Built in 1868, it's part of the house that once belonged to Lord Padget, an English protestant evangelical missionary, known for paying the locals to attend his church. The first floor of the house is a sight in itself, with carved wooden ceilings and Gothic-style windows. After his death the house was sold and eventually became a fire watchtower (this was in the days when the tower was higher than most other buildings in town). Unfortunately, the complex is now a rather seedy and run-down restaurant, and the upper floor is usually locked; once restored and put to better use this could be a great museum or restaurant and a highlight for Shkodra.
