About
The famous "leaning" tower of Kazan is located in the very heart of the city — in the Kremlin. At the beginning of the 20th century, due to soil subsidence, Söyembikä began to shift from its vertical axis. The foundation was reinforced, but the tilt of about 2 meters remained. Take a photo with the tower in the background and admire the decorative columns, arches, and fairy-tale-inspired details. Free entrance
