Standing tall at 82.5 meters, the Bell Tower is a masterpiece of copper and glass, an architectural marvel that graces the skyline of Perth, Western Australia. Affectionately known as The Bell Tower or Swan Bell Tower, this enchanting structure is more than just a monument—it's a symphony waiting to unfold.

As you approach, let the resonance of the 18 bells, suspended within the tower, draw you into a world of musical magic. Named after the Swan River that gracefully flows beneath its gaze, these bells come together in a sixteen-bell peal, featuring two extra chromatic notes that add a unique melody to the air.

Prepare to be mesmerized, for these bells hold a prestigious title as the second-largest set of change ringing bells globally, with only Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin surpassing them. Twelve of these historic bells have traveled across oceans from St Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square, London, a gift to Western Australia during the 1988 Australian bicentenary celebrations. Complementing this historic collection are six newer bells, crafted by the renowned Whitechapel Bell Foundry, each one a testament to the enduring bond between the City of Perth, the people of Western Australia, and international friends.

The story of these bells is a symphony of generosity and shared heritage, with contributions from the City of London, the City of Westminster, a consortium of British and Australian mining companies, and a commissioned bell by the Western Australian Government.
