Big Ben is the nickname of a bell that rings in the clock tower at the northern end of the Houses of Parliament in
Westminster, London, England. Officially, the tower itself is called Elizabeth Tower. However, most people,
including those that live in London, call the tower "Big Ben", because it is very large. It weighs 13 tons.
The clock alone weighs about 5 tons.
Big Ben is the second bell in the tower. The first was damaged in 1856, because of some wrong calculations . It
was built by Sir Adam Jonas from Norfolk, England, and by his team of architects and builders. It took 13 years to
build and it was completed in 1859. The tower is 16 storeys high.
