The Zlatoustovskaya Tower stands as a cylindrical structure within the Novgorod Kremlin walls, featuring thick stone walls and traditional defensive architectural elements.
Built in 1401, the Zlatoustovskaya Tower formed an essential part of the Novgorod defense system during the period when the city controlled major trade routes between Scandinavia and Byzantium.
