Suyumbike Tower

  Suyumbike Tower, a striking part of Kazan's skyline, stands proudly in the heart of the city's Kremlin complex. Constructed in the late 17th century, it is named after the legendary Tatar princess Suyumbike, offering a glimpse into the region's rich history. This 58-meter tall structure was originally designed as a watchtower and is known for its unique lean, reminiscent of the famed Leaning Tower of Pisa. Visitors can explore the nearby Kremlin grounds, especially vibrant in May during the annual Tatar Spring Festival, when the area buzzes with cultural performances and local crafts. Don't forget to snap a photo against the backdrop of this historical icon while enjoying the views of the Kazanka River.
