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.
The tower currently houses the Svyatogor Centre of Russian Military Culture, displaying collections of ancient Russian weapons and military artifacts.
The tower stands along Ulitsa Oktyabryaskoy Revolyutsi street and remains open for visitors as part of the larger Kolomna Kremlin walking tour.
Between Granovitaya Tower and Kolomenskaya Tower extends the longest preserved section of the original Kremlin walls from the 1520s.
