Zaraysk Kremlin, Stone fortress in Zaraysk, Russia
The Zaraysk Kremlin features seven towers and walls made of red brick and white limestone stretching along a rectangular perimeter of 648 meters.
Built between 1528 and 1531 under Vasily III orders, this fortress protected the southern borders of Moscow from Crimean Tatar raids for over 150 years.
