The Bell From the Belfry of Ghent, Belgium
This bell of the Belfry is called Roland. First it only served as an alarm bell to warn the citizens of Ghent of an approaching enemy or a battle won. The bell is also the primary character in the citys anthem, in which the bell warns of fire or calls upon the citizens of Ghent to defend the land. It was later used to indicate each hour and thus regulate life in the city. A collection of smaller bells preceded the hourly ringing of Roland to warn the people that a new hour was almost there
