Description
Tom Tower is a majestic bell tower designed by Christopher Wren that serves as the main entrance to Christ Church in Oxford. It combines Gothic and Renaissance elements to create an architectural jewel of the city.
The tower conceals the famous Great Tom bell, which has rung 101 strokes every evening since World War II - symbolizing the 100 original scholars of the college plus one added in 1663.
It is not only a historical monument, but also a landmark that delights architecture and history lovers with its unique design and rich past.
