Russian Historical and Cultural Treasures | The Kremlin (1521)

The Kremlin (1521). The Kremlin is a complex of buildings located in the heart of Moscow, symbolizing the Russian Federation and housing the Russian President's residence. It was once one of the residences of the Russian Tsars. The 'Kremlin' in Russian means 'fortress inside a city'. Situated on the Borovitsky Hill, the most central part of the Russian capital, it overlooks the Moscow River to the south, borders the Alexandrovsky Garden to the northwest, and is connected to the Red Square to the northeast, forming a triangle. The preserved walls are 2,235 meters long, 6 meters thick, and 14 meters high, with 18 towers scattered unevenly along the triangular palace walls. Among them, the most spectacular and famous is the Spasskaya Tower with its ringing bell. The five largest gate towers and arrow towers are adorned with ruby-red stars, which are the Kremlin's renowned red stars. The Kremlin is revered as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World'. Moscow's Kremlin is a symbol of the Russian state, one of the largest architectural complexes in the world, and a treasure trove of historical gems, cultural and artistic monuments.
