Veselukha Tower, Fortified tower in Smolensk, Russia.
The Veselukha Tower features round corners and stands as part of the eastern section of the Smolensk Kremlin's defensive wall system.
Built between 1595 and 1602 under the supervision of architect Fyodor Kon, the tower served as a crucial defense point against western invasions.
The tower's name originates from its location, which provided guards with clear views of the Smolensk suburbs and surrounding territories.
Visitors can reach the tower by following the eastern section of the Kremlin wall, where it stands among eight other preserved fortification structures.
Local records indicate that counterfeiters once operated near the tower, leading to numerous stories about mysterious activities in its vicinity.
