Read moreThe Tsar of Bells, located next to the tower of Ivan the Great, is a bronze master bell and also happens to be the largest bell in the world. It was cast for two years between 1733 and 1735 and weighs 202 tons, is 6.14 m high and has a diameter of 6.60 m! It was then installed in honour of Tsarina Anne Ioannovna, who could not help but appreciate such a unique honour. During the fire of 1737, a piece weighing 11.5 t broke off and fell at the foot of the gigantic bell, which remains in a similar state today.
