Tower Na Pogrebu, Defense tower in Tula Kremlin, Russia.
The Tower Na Pogrebu stands as a rectangular stone structure within the Tula Kremlin complex, displaying traditional Russian fortification architecture of the 16th century.
Built between 1514 and 1520 under Tsar Vasily III, the tower formed part of the defensive system that protected Tula from numerous invasions and sieges.
