Naugolnaya Tower, Defense tower in Tula, Russia.
The Naugolnaya Tower rises from the Tula Kremlin complex with stone walls reaching toward the sky, forming an integral part of the fortress structure.
Built in 1501, the Naugolnaya Tower served as a critical defensive position in the Tula Kremlin, protecting the southern approaches to Moscow from external threats.
The tower represents medieval Russian military engineering, displaying construction techniques that influenced fortress design throughout the Russian territories during the 16th century.
Visitors enter the tower through the main entrance of the Tula Kremlin complex, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the regular opening hours.
The tower contains specialized arrow slits at multiple levels, allowing defenders to maintain clear firing positions while remaining protected behind the thick stone walls.
