A view of the largest bell in the world, with a diameter of 6.6 metres (22 ft), although it has never been rung. The bell was cast in the Kremlin in 1735, with ornaments added after it has been raised from the 10-metre casting pit. However a fire broke out in the Kremlin, and the supports of the bell caught alight. Guards threw cold water over the bell causing eleven cracks, and a huge slab broke off, before the supports collapsed and the bell fell back into its pit, where it reamined until 1837. That year a French engineer, Auguste de Montferrand, raised it again, placing it on a stone pedestal, as depicted here.
