Swan Bells, Bell tower at Barrack Square, Perth, Australia

The Swan Bells reside in an 82-meter copper and glass tower, featuring 18 bells that overlook the Swan River in central Perth.

Twelve bells from London's St Martin-in-the-Fields church, dating back to the 14th century, were relocated to Perth during Australia's 1988 bicentenary celebrations.

The bells mark significant community events through change ringing, a traditional English bell-ringing method practiced by local bell ringers.

Visitors can access the tower Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with guided tours explaining the bell-ringing mechanisms.

The Great ANZAC Bell, added in 2018, stands as the largest bell in Australia and commemorates World War One service members.
