The 205-foot Gothic and art deco Carillon Tower is an experience like no other.
The Tower houses one of the world’s finest carillons. Concerts
from the 60-bell carillon fill the Sanctuary daily.

The carillon at Historic Bok Sanctuary consists of 60 bells ranging in weight from 16 pounds to nearly 12 tons. Its keyboard, sometimes called a clavier, is made of long, thin batons, which are depressed with one’s closed fist. |

The acres of ferns, palms, oaks and pines create a year-round backdrop of 1,000 shades of green for the seasonal bursts of azaleas, camellias and magnolia blooms that form an ever-changing work of art. |
