Big Ben

Big Ben, also known as the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster, is a clock tower located at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, England. Designed by Sir Charles Barry and Augustus Pugin, the tower is 316 feet tall and features a Perpendicular Gothic Revival style with elaborate stone carvings and symbols related to the United Kingdom and the Anglo-Welsh Tudor dynasty. The clock, which was completed in 1859, uses its original mechanism and was the largest and most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world upon its completion.learn more on wikipedia
