Smolensk Kremlin, Fortress complex in Smolensk, Russia
The Smolensk Kremlin extends over 6.5 kilometers with stone walls reaching heights between 13 and 19 meters, featuring 17 remaining towers from its original 38.
The fortress, constructed from 1595 to 1602 under architect Fyodor Kon during the reign of Tsar Feodor I, protected western Russia through numerous military conflicts.
This federal cultural heritage site stands as a representation of Russian military architecture, demonstrating advanced defense techniques from the late 16th century.
Visitors can walk along sections of the preserved walls, including the eastern section with nine towers and the southwestern section with five towers.
The fortress contains underground passages and listening galleries that were used to detect enemy mining activities during medieval sieges.
