🖼 Walk along the kremlin wall and towers

Кремль, Дмитриевская башня (вход из арки с пл. Минина)

A circular route along the wall-walk of the kremlin wall and museums in four towers: views of the Volga and the Strelka, and an underground combat tier.

It is the only kremlin in Russia with a circular walking route along the whole fortress wall.
Two sections of the wall follow changes in height, and the steps there can be up to 40 cm high.
On the bricks you can see tally marks, animal paw prints and wartime inscriptions.
The city's first museum opened in the kremlin itself — in the Dmitrovskaya Tower; Nicholas II visited it in 1896.
The Dmitrovskaya Tower got its present Russian-style look in 1895, in a restoration by Nikolai Sultanov.
The Ivanovskaya Tower is the largest gate tower; according to legend, a shot from it in 1505 helped lift the siege of the city.
