Tsar Bell

Tverskoy District, Russia · built 1733

The Tsar Bell (Tsar'-kolokol), also known as the Tsarsky Kolokol, Tsar Kolokol III, or Royal Bell, is a 6.14-metre-tall (20.1 ft), 6.6-metre-diameter (22 ft) bell on display on the grounds of the Moscow Kremlin. The bell was commissioned by Empress Anna Ivanovna, niece of Peter the Great. It has never been in working order, suspended, nor rung. The present bell is sometimes referred to as Kolokol III (Bell III), because it is the third generation.
