Landmark, Attraction. It can be found at Market Street between 5th & 6th Streets.
The world-famous Liberty Bell makes its permanent residence in Philadelphia, and this national treasure is perhaps the city's most impressive attraction. Located just outside of Independence Hall, in a modest glass shed-like structure, the cracked masterpiece is mounted beautifully at the end of a corridor inside the building.

It was cast in 1751 and cracked slowly in the years to follow. The large, noticeable crack was actually a controlled drilling procedure used to control the damage that had been done up until that point; unfortunately, it failed and was 'retired' in 1846.
