Vysokaja Tower, Medieval tower in Pskov, Russia.
The Vysokaja Tower stands as a stone fortification structure with thick walls rising against the urban landscape of northwestern Russia.
During the medieval period, this defensive tower formed an essential part of Pskov's fortification system, protecting the city from numerous invasions.
The tower exhibits architectural elements of the Pskov School, which combines influences from Byzantine and Novgorod building traditions of the 15th century.
