An enduring symbol of UC Berkeley, Sather Tower, known as the Campanile, was completed in 1914 and stands 307 feet tall. An elevator ride to the observation platform at the 200 foot level provides visitors with a spectacular view of the entire Bay Area and of the campus.

The Campanile houses a sixty-one bell carillon. The bells weigh from nineteen pounds to 10,500 pounds and are located above the observation platform. Carillon concerts take place every day at 7:50 a.m., noon and 6:00 p.m. Longer concerts are conducted Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Information about the carillon may be found online at http://ls.berkeley.edu/dept/music/carillon.html.

The Campanile is open Monday thru Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday hours are 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday hours are 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The cost of an elevator ride is $2 general admission (18 years and over), $1 for seniors, CAA members with ID, and ages 17 and under. The Campanile is free to UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff with Cal ID, and children under 3.

Please note: There are 38 stairs from the top of the elevator to the observation platform. The observation platform of this historical landmark is not wheelchair accessible.
