Pogorelaya Tower, Fortified tower in Kolomna, Russia.
The Pogorelaya Tower stands with thick stone walls and rising structure as part of the Kolomna Kremlin's defensive fortification system along the city perimeter.
Built in 1525, this tower served as a crucial defensive point during medieval times, protecting the city from invasions and offering strategic observation capabilities.
The tower represents medieval Russian military architecture and holds federal cultural heritage status, demonstrating construction techniques from the early 16th century.
Visitors can access the tower during regular Kremlin opening hours and combine their visit with exploration of other historical structures within the fortress complex.
The name Pogorelaya, meaning 'burnt' in Russian, suggests the tower's survival through historical fires while maintaining its original structural integrity.
