Big Ben, the iconic clock tower at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, was designed by architect Augustus Pugin. The tower itself was part of a larger rebuilding project of the Houses of Parliament after a fire in 1834. The clock mechanism was designed by Edward John Dent, and its construction was overseen by his stepson, Frederick Dent. The tower was completed in 1859, and the name "Big Ben" actually refers to the Great Bell inside the tower.
