Index of War Memorials and Peace Carillons

This special world-wide index lists those carillons and other tower bell instruments that were built as war memorials or for the promotion of peace.  They are grouped and listed here in the same order as at the International Network of War Memorial and Peace Carillons, where additional information about them may be found.  However, that Website does not include individual peace bells, the largest of which are among the great bells listed on this Website and are linked in the last section of this index.

These sites are also shown on a world map), though two of the great bells are not yet shown there.

Within each section of this index, sites are listed in order by city name regardless of country.
