Big Ben - реферат

Big Ben is one of the most favourite tourist attractions in Great Britain. It is situated in the central part of London, where most historic and architectural sights stand. The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Big Ben is the giant clock. In fact, it’s not the clock but the nickname for the great bell of the clock. Being one of the world’s tallest free-standing structures the Clock Tower, formerly St Stephen’s Tower, gracefully stands at the north end of the Westminster Palace. As for the clock itself, it’s the world’s largest four-faced chiming clock. Big Ben has often appeared in films as an internationally recognized symbol of England.
