Tobolsk Kremlin, Stone fortress complex in Tobolsk, Russia
The massive white stone structures of the Kremlin rise above the Tobol and Irtysh rivers, featuring nine defensive towers and thick walls spanning four meters.
Built between 1683 and 1799, this fortress marks the first Russian advancement into Siberia and served as the administrative center for the region's development.
The Sofia-Uspensky Cathedral within the compound represents the first stone religious building in Siberia, demonstrating Russian architectural traditions east of the Urals.
Visitors enter through Pryamsky vzvoz, climbing a wooden staircase from the 19th century to access museums displaying archaeological finds and restored period interiors.
Swedish prisoners of war contributed to the construction of several buildings during the Great Northern War, leaving their mark on this remote Siberian fortress.
