It is called Tsar Kolokol „III‟ because it was cast three times, and more metal was added cash time. It is a tower bell and made of bronze. The bell is the largest bell in the world, weighing 201,924 kilograms with a heigh of 6.14 meters and diameter of 6.6 meters and thickness of up to 61 centimeters. It is a master piece of 18th century Russian casting technology. The Mingun Bell is a bell located in Mingun, Sagaing Region, Myanmar. Mingun is well known for its huge 90 ton Mingun Bell, the world‟s largest uncracked and ringing Bell. Introduction The history of Russian bell goes back to the 10th century, but in the medieval Russian Orthodox Church, bells, were not typically rung to indicate Church service, but to announce important ceremonies, celebrations and as an alarm in case of fire or enemy attack. One of the largest of the early bells was the original Tsar bell, casted in the 16th century. However, Tsar Bellwas created second time in AD 170, and Tsar Bell was again destroyed by a fire. In AD 1735,Tsar Bellwas castedthird time. Tsarina Anna I ordered that the pieces be casted into a new bell with its weight increased by another hundred tons. So the Tsar Bell III (Russia) is the largest bell in the world, weighing 201,924 Kilograms.
