Kolomna Kremlin, Medieval fortress in Kolomna, Russia.
The Kolomna Kremlin stands as a fortified complex featuring massive brick walls reaching heights of up to 35 meters, encompassing approximately 24 hectares with seven surviving towers from the original seventeen structures.
Constructed between 1525 and 1531 under Tsar Vasily III, this fortress served as a crucial southern defense barrier for the Moscow kingdom against Tatar invasions and raids from the steppe regions.
The complex houses several religious monuments including the Dormition Cathedral from the 17th century, the Brusensky monastery with its revered Kazan icon, and churches that reflect Russia's Orthodox architectural traditions.
Visitors can explore the remaining towers including Marinkina Tower at 31 meters height, access guided tours of the fortress grounds, and visit the Museum of Ancient Russian Martial Art located within the Faceted Tower.
The fortress design incorporates Italian military architecture elements brought by specialist builders, creating distinctive machicolations and dovetail-shaped merlons rarely seen in other Russian fortifications of this period.
