Campanile, Bell tower at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland.
The granite Campanile rises 30.5 meters high in the center of Library Square, featuring Portland stone carvings and a domed roof with iron cross finial.
Architect Charles Lanyon designed this bell tower, completed in 1853 to replace an earlier structure from 1740 that was demolished due to safety concerns.
The structure displays sculptures of Homer, Socrates, Plato, and Demosthenes, while four corner statues represent Divinity, Science, Medicine, and Law.
The Great Bell inside weighs thirty-seven hundredweight and functions through a chiming mechanism rather than swinging due to its substantial size.
Four carved coats of arms at the base represent the United Kingdom, Trinity College Dublin, Lord John Beresford, and the Archbishopric of Armagh.
