Bubleyka Tower, Fortified tower in Smolensk, Russia.
Bubleyka Tower stands as a stone fortification within the walls of Smolensk Kremlin, featuring traditional Russian military architectural elements and defensive positions.
The tower emerged during the construction of Smolensk fortress between 1595 and 1602 under Tsar Boris Godunov's orders to protect against western invasions.
The stone structure exemplifies medieval Russian defense architecture and remains a federal cultural heritage site, preserving centuries of construction techniques.
