Spasskaya Bashnya Kolomenskogo Kremlya

The Spasskaya tower of the Kolomna Kremlin was one of 16 towers built by Aleviz Fryazin (Old) by decree of Vasily III, instead of a burnt wooden fortress. Work on its construction was carried out from 1525 to 1531. The tower is 24 meters high, 12 meters long and 8 meters wide. The name "Spasskaya" tower was due to its location. Just opposite it was the subsequently blown up Spassky Monastery.
