Big Ben is perhaps the most famous landmark in London.

Big Ben is perhaps the most famous landmark in London. Although often called "Big Ben" is meant the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster, the official name of which is the "tower of St. Stephen", in fact, Big Ben is the biggest bell of the six located in the tower.

The construction of the St. Stephen's Tower was completed in 1858, and in September 1859 the watch movement was launched, which still counts the time. The clock tower has interesting architectural and symbolic details, for example, on all four dials, except for the time indicating and on the sides of the light, the inscription "God save Queen Victoria!" Is inscribed, and on the tower near the clock there is the inscription "Praise be to the Lord." Latin is used for both inscriptions.

It is difficult to imagine a visit to London without visiting the Palace of Westminster, which in itself is a famous landmark, and its clock tower, inside of which is the "sensational to the whole world" bell of Big Ben.
