Tour of the Kremlin walls
My friend works at the Kremlin already 6th year! And so, she managed to get on a tour of the closed walls of the Kremlin. Typical visitors in the Kremlin could not get there, the entrance to this tour - through Borovitskiye gate, there height of the wall on the inside of the Kremlin lowest - 0, 5 m, it is really to raise the stairs. From the outside the Kremlin, even if there were steps, I think it would be highly unrealistic.
The theme of 24 photos, will describe carefully the words of a friend

In total, the Kremlin has 20 towers, 19 of them are located on the perimeter of the walls and twenty Kutafya - bridgehead, diverter from nearby Trinity Tower. As you can see, each tower has its original architectural appearance, its name and its history.
The tour starts with Borovitskaya Tower! where the distance from the ground to the pad on the wall about 0.5 meters, open a door, a few steps and you are all on the wall. The wall thickness at different sites different from 1, 5 to 3 meters and of height, respectively. With us in the group were two guards, one opens the door, drgua us immediately closed. Strictly nastrogo not allowed to take a picture (there are so many cameras, different systems) - but then apparently forgotten, and we relaxed.
Most of the towers there is nothing, but there are different plates, pipes and a pile of dust. But for example in Borovitskaya, Spassky and troytskoy people sitting in the room.
With Tainitski tower view of the 1 th Nameless Tower, 2nd nameless, the Petrine and Beklemishevskaya tower. Under the tower it was dug a well and done a secret passage to the Moscow River, in the event of a siege supply water Kremlin. From the tower got its name-Taynitskaya.
