Chasovaya Tower of Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, Clock tower in Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, Russia.

The five-sided stone tower stands at the edge of the Kremlin hill between Northern and Ivanovskaya towers, featuring a distinctive clock mechanism.

During the 16th century, the tower functioned as the main watchtower and command center for the fortress garrison, equipped with alarm bells.

The tower houses Post Number One near the Eternal Flame, maintaining a memorial tradition that connects generations of local residents.

The tower contains a reconstructed 17-hour clock face with eight bells playing Glinka's musical composition every hour throughout the day.

The tower's upper spire displays a golden weathervane shaped like a deer, representing the traditional symbol of Nizhny Novgorod.
