The Kolomna Kremlin, located in Kolomna, Russia, is a stunning example of medieval Russian fortification architecture. Constructed between 1525 and 1531 under the reign of Grand Prince Vasili III, the Kremlin served as a key defensive stronghold against invasions. Encompassing a large area, the fortress features impressive walls up to 21 meters high and 3.5 meters thick, with seven surviving towers out of an original 17. Among its notable structures are the Marinkina Tower, which is steeped in local legends, and the Assumption Cathedral, which showcases beautiful Russian Orthodox architecture.
