Astrakhan Kremlin, Fortified complex in Astrakhan, Russia.
The white stone walls of Astrakhan Kremlin stretch along the Volga River, featuring eight towers and two cathedrals within its perimeter.
Construction of the fortress began in 1582 using bricks from the ruins of Saray, the former capital of the Golden Horde.
The Assumption Cathedral contains religious frescoes that demonstrate the Russian Orthodox artistic traditions of the early 18th century.
Visitors can access the Kremlin through the Prechistinsky Gate, which leads to multiple museums displaying military artifacts and regional history.
The fortress walls incorporate Persian architectural elements, reflecting the confluence of Russian and Asian building techniques at this trading crossroad.
