Sights of the Tula region take their roots from the distant past. In 1503, Prince John Vasilievich took Tula to his domain, and the city became the property of the Muscovite state. In order to make the road to Moscow safe, the ruler ordered to lay an oak fortress in Tula. Seven years later, the construction of a stone city inside this fortress began, following the model of the Kremlin of the capital.
The Tula Kremlin became a shelter for False Dimitry, the boyars came here to swear an impostor for fidelity. He was called "city in the city". It was inhabited almost the entire population. The historic Tula region has been creating its Kremlin's attractions for a long time. The Great Kremlin Street, the first of all in Tula, was also in here.
The Tula Kremlin consists of nine towers. Originally they looked like a chess rook. The Spassky Tower warned the inhabitants of the impending alarm. At that time a bell was placed on it, and powder stocks were stored under it. Odoyevskaya Tower opened the gates on the road to Odoev. Nikitskaya had a torture chamber in which she was tortured. Ivanovskaya tower led to the city garden. It also had an underground passage leading to the river. The nugget is located closer to the meat line. The tower of the Pyatnitsky Gate kept weapons and provisions for a siege. The water gate passed through the procession for the Waterfall.
