Volokolamsk Kremlin, Medieval fortress complex in Volokolamsk, Russia.
The Volokolamsk Kremlin sits atop Cathedral Hill, featuring a white stone Resurrection Cathedral and red brick St Nicholas Cathedral with a five-tiered bell tower.
The kremlin, established in 1135, served as a fortified stronghold with earthen mounds to protect against raids until becoming occupied by German forces during World War II.
The Resurrection Cathedral contains preserved fragments of 15th-century frescoes, representing the artistic techniques and religious expression of medieval Russian painters.
Visitors can explore the kremlin and its museum exhibitions from Tuesday to Sunday between 9:00 and 17:00, with guided tours available through the official website.
The site houses two distinct cathedrals: the 15th-century white stone Resurrection Cathedral and the 19th-century red brick St Nicholas Cathedral built to honor Crimean War casualties.
