Rainbow Tower, Bell tower in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
The Rainbow Tower rises 50.3 meters with a carillon system containing 55 bells, ranging from a 10-ton bourdon to small bells weighing under 9 pounds.
William Lyon Somerville designed this tower at the Rainbow Bridge border station, with construction completed in 1947 following World War II interruptions.
The carillon bells ring three times daily throughout the year, creating musical performances that echo across the Niagara Falls region.
An automated system now operates the bells since 2002, replacing the former resident carillonneur who lived in an apartment within the tower.
The largest bell measures 2.4 meters in diameter, produces an E note, and forms part of the 43-ton musical instrument system.
