Belfry of Arras, Gothic bell tower in Place des Héros, France.
The 75-meter tall stone tower features a gilded lion on its crown and stands as the central structure in Arras's main square.
Originally constructed between 1463 and 1554 under Duke Philip the Good, the belfry was reconstructed from 1927 to 1931 after destruction in World War I.
The carillon of forty bells marks time and celebrations, continuing a tradition that spans centuries in this northern French region.
Visitors can climb to the observation platform via elevator and stairs during tourist office hours, with groups limited to 19 people per ascent.
The reconstruction in the 1920s incorporated reinforced concrete within the stone structure, marking an early use of modern building techniques in heritage restoration.
