Almost all Kremlin towers got their beautiful hipped roof completion in
the middle of the century. Each of the Kremlin towers has its own name. Cathedral Square
This is the main Kremlin square. The Cathedral Square (Sobornaya

under the Moscow Grand Prince Ivan III. Ivan the Great Bell-Tower
There was not large Ivanov Bell-Tower in the centre of the Kremlin at
the beginning of the 14-th century under the Grand Prince Ivan the
Moneybag. In due course it was in a bad state of disrepair and on the
order of the Prince Ivan III a stone bell-tower was errected at the same
place. State Armoury
Here you will find works of art connected with the history of the
Russian state and the development of its artistic culture. The museum
building was erected in 1844 from a design by the architect
Konstantin Thon, in whose work buildings of the so-called "Russian
style" played a particularly important part. Hall of Facets in the Kremlin
