The Belfry of Ivan the Great


The Ivan the Great Bell Tower is the tallest of the bell towers ringing the Moscow Kremlin complex, with a total height of 81 meters (266 feet). It was built for the Assumption, Archangel and Annunciation cathedrals, which do not have their own belfries, and is said to mark Moscow's precise geographic centre.
From 1505 to 1508, the new bell tower was erected next to the church on the foundation of the old tower, which gave it its name.
