Petrovskaya Tower, Fortified tower in Moscow Kremlin, Russia.
The Petrovskaya Tower stands at 27.15 meters tall as part of the defensive wall system within the Moscow Kremlin complex.
Built during the reign of Ivan III between the late 15th and early 16th centuries, the tower underwent reconstruction after French troops damaged it in 1812.
The tower received its name from the Church of Metropolitan Peter, which stood at the former Ugreshsky courtyard within the Kremlin grounds.
Following the 1818 restoration, the Petrovskaya Tower served as a maintenance facility for Kremlin gardeners, adapting to changing functional requirements.
The tower's position in the Kremlin wall provides strategic views of Moscow while maintaining its role in the architectural ensemble of twenty towers.
