Red Square
Spasskaya Tower is considered to be the most beautiful and most harmonious tower of the Kremlin. It was constructed by architect Pietro Antonio Solari in 1491. From time immemorial the Spasskaya gate was the main smart entrance to the Kremlin. It was especially esteemed among people and was considered to be sacred. It was forbidden to pass astride through the Spasskaya gate.
First clock was established between 1491 and 1585. It's a long story how clock has been changed since that time.
In 1935 a huge rubin red star was installed on the tower.
Now the tower's height is 71 metres.
