Vladimir Tower

The Vladimir Tower was built at the end of the 15th century. The tower is five-tiered, rectangular in shape, and reaches a height of 17.8 meters. It is completed by a ten-meter tent. A fresco drawing of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker of the 16th century has survived on the facade. There are two stone crosses on the sides of the entrance. An arch leads inside the Kremlin. The tower got its name from the Vladimir Gate Church in 1311. The tower was partially destroyed during the Great Patriotic War. In 1959-1961, it was restored to its original appearance. The authors of the project were A.V. Vorobyov and N. S. Krivulina.
