Bell Tower, Perth
The Bell Tower, Perth
The Swan Bells are a set of 18 bells hanging in a specially built 82.5-metre (271 ft) copper and glass campanile in Perth, Western Australia. The tower is commonly known as The Bell Tower or the Swan Bell Tower.
Taking their name from the Swan River, which their tower overlooks, and forming a sixteen-bell peal with two extra chromatic notes, they are the second largest set of change ringing bells in the world, the largest being Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, which has 19 bells.
