Vologda Kremlin, Defensive fortress in Vologda, Russia

The Vologda Kremlin spans across 2.3 hectares, featuring stone walls, towers, and the Cathedral of Saint Sophia with its five-domed architecture.

Construction of the complex began in 1568 under Tsar Ivan the Terrible, who selected Vologda as a strategic northern residence for Moscow's authority.

The Kremlin houses multiple exhibition spaces within the Vologda State Historical Museum-Reserve, presenting collections of regional art and historical artifacts.

The complex opens daily for visitors, offering guided tours through the Archbishop's Residence, cathedrals, and bell tower reaching 78.5 meters high.

During the severe famine of 1671, Archbishop Simon initiated the construction of stone fortification walls that continue to stand today.
