BİG BEN
Big Ben (formally Elizabeth Tower is the famous clock tower next to the Palace
of Westminster in London. It is the second largest tetrahedral clock in the
world. "Big Ben" is actually the name of the bell of the clock tower, but over
time it has been used by the public to denote the entire structure. On 26 June
2012, the name of the tower was changed to "Elizabeth Tower" with the
decision of the parliament in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Queen's
accession to the throne.

The tower was designed by Augustus Pugin in a neo-Gothic style. When it was
completed in 1859, its clock was the largest in the world. The tower is 316 feet
(96 m) high and the climb to the bell tower from ground level is 334 steps. Its
base is square and measures 40 feet (12 m) on each side. The dials of the watch
are 22.5 feet (6.9 m) in diameter. All four nations of England are represented in
the tower on shields which include a rose for England, a thistle for Scotland, a
clover for Northern Ireland, and a leek for Wales. On May 31, 2009, the 150th
anniversary celebrations of the tower were held.
Big Ben is the largest of the tower's five bells and weighs 13.5 long tons (13.7
tons; 15.1 short tons). It was the UK's largest bell for 23 years. The origin of the
nickname of the bell is questionable; It may be named after Sir Benjamin Hall,
who oversaw its installation, or heavyweight boxing champion Benjamin Caunt.

The four-quarter bell rings at 15, 30, and 45 past the clock and just before the
Big Ben toll booth.

The tower is a British cultural landmark recognized around the world. It is one
of the most important symbols of the UK and of parliamentary democracy and
is often used for filming movies shot in London. The clock tower has been a
Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site
since 1987.

According to the votes of 2000 people who participated in a survey, Big Ben is
the most important symbol of the United Kingdom.
