Cathedral tower

The Bell Tower or Torre-Campanario (1521-1791) measures 90 meters high (95 with the vane). Inside the first body or base of the cathedral’s tower you will find the Sacristía Mayor with its vaulted ceiling and wooden chest of drawers, furniture from the 16th century and Renaissance style restored in 2009.

The tower has a set of 20 bells, 5 on each side. The largest, St. Águeda, weighs 6.420 kilos. The bells excepted so-called “Mora” (14th century)which is preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts, are from the 17th and 18th centuries. These 25 bells have served since time immemorial to announce to the city of Murcia the fearsome floods, as well as the wars but also celebrations, joys and festivities.
