Богословская башня, Medieval tower in Kitay-gorod district, Moscow, Russia.
The Bogoslovsky Tower featured a rectangular base with thick stone walls and contained storage spaces on multiple levels within its structure.
Built between 1535 and 1538 under the supervision of architect Petrok Maly Fryazin, the tower formed part of the Kitay-gorod fortification system.
The tower received its name from the nearby Church of John the Theologian, reflecting the connection between military architecture and religious structures.
Located at the intersection of Novaya Square, the tower served as a strategic observation point for monitoring activities around the eastern part of Moscow.
The structure underwent modifications over time, transforming from a solid defensive tower into a gated passage before its demolition in 1934.
