Dulo Tower of Simonov Monastery
Dulo Tower of Simonov Monastery, Tower in Danilovsky District, Russia.
The stone Dulo Tower rises within the ancient walls of Simonov Monastery, displaying traditional Russian architectural elements from the seventeenth century.
Constructed in 1642, the Dulo Tower functioned as part of Moscow's defensive structures, protecting the southern approaches to the city alongside Simonov Monastery.
The tower represents a significant example of Russian Orthodox architectural traditions and stands as a federal cultural heritage site in Moscow.
Visitors can reach the Dulo Tower by taking the metro to Avtozavodskaya station and walking through the Danilovsky District of Moscow.
The tower remained standing while many other monastery structures were demolished in 1923 to make way for an automobile manufacturing plant.
