Description:

One of the most notable towers of Kolomna's kremlin is Granovitaya (Faceted), built in the 1530s. It received its name because of its shape: on the outer wall there are six faces; on the inside are three sides of a square. So in all there are nine faces. After reconstruction in 1980 the historical club Svyatogor moved into Granovitaya tower.
