Carillon/ 18 Bells, Kondopoga, Republic of Karelia, Russia
This 50m-high bell tower was opened in 1970 as a gift from Britain on Canberra’s 50th anniversary.
The tower has 55 bronze bells, weighing from 7kg to 6 tonnes each, making it one of the world’s largest musical instruments. The bells mark the hour and there’s usually a recital at 12.30pm from Wednesday through to Sunday.
