Söyembikä Tower, Inclined tower in Kazan Kremlin, Russia

The seven-tiered Söyembikä Tower rises 58 meters above the Kazan Kremlin, featuring a combination of traditional Tatar and Russian architectural elements.

The tower's construction date remains uncertain, with scholars suggesting it was built between the late 17th and early 18th centuries during Russia's tiered tower period.

Named after Queen Söyembikä, the last regent of the Kazan Khanate, the tower stands as a symbol of Tatar independence and regional identity.

Visitors can observe the tower's Muslim crescent pinnacle and architectural details while exploring the grounds of the Kazan Kremlin complex.

The tower's outline appears on the design of Moscow's Kazan Railway Station and was featured on the Russian 1000-ruble banknote in 2023.
