Rostov Kremlin. Bell Tower, Bell tower in Rostov Kremlin, Russia.
The stone tower contains 15 bells arranged in a single row within open arches on the upper level of the four-story structure.
Metropolitan Jonah Sysoevich commissioned master Philipp Andreev to construct the bell tower between 1682 and 1689 for the Rostov Kremlin complex.
The bells create specific musical harmonies, with the largest bell named Sysoy weighing 2000 puds and determining the major chord of the ensemble.
Visitors can attend bell-ringing demonstrations at scheduled times throughout the day and learn about the traditional Russian bell-ringing techniques.
The structure features hollow spaces between the bells and ground level, enhancing the acoustic properties and creating distinct sound resonance.
