National Carillon

The National Carillon, a 164-foot (50 meter) architectural landmark, stands as a gift from the British government to Australia. Located in Canberra, this striking tower is not only a visual icon but also a functional musical instrument. Visitors can enjoy the harmonious chiming of its 55 bronze bells during free weekly concerts. The carillon’s height allows the melodies to carry across Lake Burley Griffin, reaching Kings and Commonwealth Parks. For a unique experience, visit at night when the structure is illuminated, creating an unforgettable view.
