Tourists always pay special attention to the Tsar Bell and the Tsar Puschka. It is still an unknown fact why Anna Ioannovna wanted the bell weighing 200 t. However, the preparatory work that has borrowed one and a half years has led to the fact that on November 25 in 1735 the six-meter bell has been cast. As soon as the product has cooled down, chasers started their work: they decorated during two years. It still was in a hole on an iron lattice when in 1737 there was a fire: the wooden structure above the hole was in fire and according to a legend the bell has fallen to a bottom, the considerable part of it has broken away. Both parts had been laining in a hole about 100 years until engineers and architects got an idea how to pull it out. The bell never called – it is impossible because of its weight and features of a construction.
