Granovitaya Tower, 16th-century defensive tower in Kolomna, Russia

The Granovitaya Tower rises 22 meters high with its octagonal exterior walls and square interior chamber within the Kolomna Kremlin complex.

Built in 1525 under the supervision of Italian architect Aleviz Novyi, the tower formed part of the defensive fortifications against southern raids.
