The Campanile’s carillon of 23 bells is the biggest collection of bells in one tower in South Africa. As one climbs the 203 steps to get to the top you pass the room where the clock’s mechanism is in and you can see the clockwork that allows the clocks to play its tune.

What an interesting view of a clock. Takes an expert I'm sure to figure it out. Now, how about a photo of the other side? 😉
