Кромской кремль, Medieval kremlin in Kromy, Russia
Kromy Kremlin is a fortress built on a steep hill where two rivers meet. Thick stone walls and several towers form the visible remains of this medieval structure.
The site was built in the late 16th century to protect southern Russian borders. Over centuries it served as a military outpost during various conflicts.
The fortress displays Russian defensive building traditions merged with European influences. The remaining walls and towers still shape how the site appears to visitors today.
The site is reachable from Kromy's central square by following local signs. Visitors should plan time to explore the walls and viewpoints, wearing sturdy shoes depending on the season.
Below the visible remains from the 16th century lie artifacts and traces from the 12th century. These earlier layers show that people occupied the site long before the current fortress was built.
