This iconic structure, perched on a high hill overlooking the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers, is a symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage. The Kremlin complex features a series of impressive towers and walls, which were originally built for defense but now house museums, government buildings, and cultural institutions. The most notable tower is the Dmitrovskaya Tower, which serves as the main entrance to the Kremlin.
