Description
Nearly sixty years later, Edward Bok began to fulfill his childhood dream on beautiful Iron Mountain, one of the highest points on the Florida peninsula. Here in south-central part of the state, the magical Bok Tower is one the finest carillon towers in the world. The belltower is covered in marble and coquina stone, and houses 60 bronze bells weighing over 60 tons. The smallest bell weighs in at 16 pounds and the largest, 11 tons.
Today the magnificent Bok Tower Gardens are open to the public. Concerts from the 60-bell carillon fill the Gardens every day. Pictured here is a golden door at the foot of the tower, with a reflection in the koi pond surrounding the tower.
