Campanil, Bell chamber in Ciudad Universitaria de Concepción, Chile.
The 42.5-meter reinforced concrete tower stands at the center of the university campus, marking the landscape of Concepción since 1943.
The construction of the bell chamber began in 1941 under the direction of Enrique Molina Garmendia, following his visit to the University of California at Berkeley.
The bell chamber appears in a mural painted by Gregorio de la Fuente between 1943 and 1946, representing the academic spirit of the institution.
The structure contains a viewing balcony near the top, although public access to this area has been restricted to maintain the building's condition.
Local sports teams associated with the university adopted the name 'Los del Campanil', incorporating the bell chamber into their identity.
