The Tsar's bell that can be seen in front of the bell tower of Ivan the Great was cast in the 18th century. The bell was in the foundry pit during the fire of 1737, but when the fire was being extinguished there, the uneven cooling cracked the bell, creating a larg triangular hole in it. As a result, this huge bell has never sounded. There are, also, other, more miraculous explanations for the bell's injury and eternal quietness.
