Question

What are some of the answers that people in Berkeley give when asked how many bells there are in the Campanile?

Answer 1

Answer:

Finished in 1914, the Campanile is the world's third-largest bell-and-clock tower, with 61 bells in the carillon that weigh from 19 to 10,500 pounds and are rung three times a day.

Explanation:

There are 53 bells that make up the carillon in the Campanile. The largest one--the bell that chimes the hour--weighs 7 tons and has rung almost 2 million times. Most bell towers have between one and five bells, but a single tower might hold dozens. Sather Tower (1914), known to most as the Campanile, is perhaps UC Berkeley's most famous symbol. Visible for miles, it stands 307 feet tall and is the third tallest bell and clock tower in the world.
