🏛 Kazan Kremlin

Кремль, главный вход — Спасская башня с площади 1 Мая

A white fortress on a hill above the Kazanka River: the Qolsharif Mosque, the Annunciation Cathedral, the leaning Söyembikä Tower and museums, all within one set of walls.

The white-stone Kremlin was begun after the capture of Kazan in 1552 by the Pskov architects Postnik Yakovlev and Ivan Shiryai.
In 2000 the Kremlin ensemble was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It is the official residence of the head of Tatarstan.
The Pskov masters built 13 towers; several dilapidated ones were taken down in the 19th century.
The Kazan Kremlin Museum-Reserve was established by decree of the President of Tatarstan on 22 January 1994.
The best-known views of the Kremlin are from Millennium Square, Dvortsovaya Square and the Kremlin Dam.
