Watchtower in Nizhny Tagil

The watchtower stands prominently at the peak of Lis'ya Mountain, featuring classical architectural elements with symmetrical proportions and clear geometric forms.

Alexander Petrovich Chebotaryov designed this defensive structure in the 19th century as part of the city's surveillance system during its industrial development period.

The watchtower represents the architectural achievements of Nizhny Tagil's golden age when the city established itself as a major metallurgical center in Russia.

Visitors reach the watchtower through a maintained path that leads to the summit of Lis'ya Mountain, offering views across the entire urban landscape.

The structure marks the geographical point where the Ural Mountains meet the Siberian plains, serving as both a historical monument and geological reference point.
