Kazan Kremlin, Kazan
The Kazan Kremlin is a major historic citadel of Tatarstan, located in the region's capital. It was built at the behest of the Russian Tsar Ivan the “Terrible” on the ruins of the former castle of Kazan khans. The Kremlin comprises a number of historic buildings, the oldest of which is the Annunciation Cathedral. The highlight of the complex, however, is the leaning Söyembikä Tower. Other points of interest include the recently renovated Qol-Şärif mosque and the Governor's House, currently the Palace of the President of Tatarstan. In 2000 the entire complex was declared a World Heritage Site.
