Big Ben Veronika Sabelová

Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London officially name is Elizabeth Tower Elizabeth Tower holds the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world and is the third-tallest free-standing clock tower The tower was completed in 1858 and has become one of the most prominent symbols of both London and England

Big Ben was largely destroyed by fire on the night of 16 October 1834 The new Parliament was built in a Neo-gothic style. Charles Barry was the chief architect of the Palace, he turned to Augustus Pugin for the design of the clock tower 315 feet (96 m) high roughly 16 storeys

The main bell, officially known as the Great Bell, is the largest bell in the tower Along with the Great Bell, the belfry houses four quarter bells which play the Westminster Quarters on the quarter hours

On 10 May 1941, a German bombing raid damaged two of the clock's dials and sections of the tower's stepped roof and destroyed the House of Commons chamber. Architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott designed a new five-floor block. Two floors are occupied by the current chamber, which was used for the first time on 26 October 1950. Despite the heavy bombing the clock ran accurately and chimed throughout the Blitz.

Despite being one of the world's most famous tourist attractions, the interior of the tower is not open to overseas visitors, though United Kingdom residents are able to arrange tours (well in advance) through their Member of Parliament. However, the tower has no lift, so those escorted must climb the 334 limestone stairs to the top

In 2008 a survey of 2,000 people found that the tower was the most popular landmark in the United Kingdom. It has also been named as the most iconic film location in London
