Многогранная башня, Former tower of Kitay-gorod wall in Moscow, Russia
The Multifaceted Tower stood as a red brick circular structure with angular corners along the Kitay-gorod fortification system at Staraya Square.
Built between 1535 and 1538 during the construction of the Kitay-gorod wall, the Multifaceted Tower remained until its demolition in 1934.
The tower received a tent-shaped roof during restoration works in the 1920s, reflecting the traditional architectural elements of medieval Russian fortifications.
The foundation of the Multifaceted Tower remains preserved within an earthen mound, marking the location where the Russian Presidential Administration now stands.
Recent discussions about reconstructing the Kitay-gorod wall section led to the installation of a 19th-century style metal fence instead of rebuilding the tower.
