The Bell Tower

The Bell Tower, located at Barrack Square, is one of Perth’s most iconic landmarks and a unique musical instrument of global significance. Standing as a stunning glass and copper spire overlooking the Swan River, it houses the historic bells of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields, which date back to the 14th century and were gifted to Western Australia for the bicentenary. Visitors are invited to explore the rich history of the bells through interactive tours where they can even try their hand at chiming these ancient instruments. The tower features various levels of exhibits detailing the art of bell ringing and the history of the site, culminating in an observation deck that offers breathtaking views of the river and city skyline. It is also home to the Carillon, a massive automated instrument that plays melodies across the water. As a center for culture and history, The Bell Tower serves as a popular venue for weddings and private functions, providing a sophisticated and memorable backdrop for visitors from around the world.
