Since the seventh century, large bells have been used in cathedrals, churches, and monasteries. The greatest bell in the world is in Moscow. This famous “King of Bells” weighs about 198 tons. The next two largest bells are also located in Russia. One near St. Petersburg weighs 171 tons, and another in Moscow weighs 110 tons. Great Paul, the bell at St Paul’s in London, is the largest bell in England, but weighs a mere 17 tons.
