Spasskaya Tower of Kazan Kremlin
Spasskaya Tower of Kazan Kremlin, Medieval tower at Kremlin, Kazan, Russia.
The Spasskaya Tower consists of four tiers with white stone walls at the base and two octagonal brick levels topped by a spired roof.
Built between 1556 and 1562 by architects Postnik Yakovlev and Ivan Shiryay, the tower initially served as storage for Ivan the Terrible's campaign icons.
The tower houses the Church of the Savior Not Made by Hands, which functioned as the main military church for the Kazan garrison in the 19th century.
Located at the southern wall of the Kremlin, the tower provides the main entrance to the fortress complex and contains a clock mechanism visible from three sides.
The tower clock features an unusual design from the 18th century where the dial rotated around stationary hands rather than the traditional movement.
