Silver Bells Tower, Medieval bell tower at Wawel Cathedral in Krakow, Poland.
The Silver Bells Tower rises from stone foundations through a rectangular brick section to a pyramid roof, housing four distinct bells within its walls.
The lower stone section of the tower, measuring 12 meters in height, dates back to the first half of the 12th century during the Hermanowska Cathedral period.
The tower contains the Herman bell from 1271, the Zbyszko bell from 1423, the Maciek bell from 1669, and the John Paul II bell from 2014.
Visitors can hear the silver bells ring twice daily at 6:55 AM and 6:30 PM on weekdays, with additional rings at noon for the John Paul II bell.
The Herman bell, created by canon Herman in 1271, maintains its position as the oldest functioning bell in the entire Wawel Cathedral complex.
