Description
Bok Tower is a unique and beautiful carillon (musical bell tower) built in the early 20th century during the Art Deco period. The colorful grilles allow the music to flow throughout the gardens. They are intricately-laid open-work tile mosaics. The carillon is played daily and the Bok Tower Gardens are a beautiful place to visit. The carillon at Bok Tower Gardens has 60 bells ranging in weight from 16 pounds to nearly 12 tons. The instrument was designed and built in 1928 by John Taylor Bellfoundry, Ltd. of Loughborough, England which still makes bells today. There are four carillons in Florida, approximately 200 in North America and 600 throughout the world.
