The Kremlin is the very place where residents and guest of the city like to have walks and spend their free time. The fortress was constructed according to the drafts of Leonardo Da Vinci. It is an impregnable fort that was built in the 16th century in the central part of Nizhny Novgorod and has never been taken by enemies. 13 towers and more than two kilometers of the defensive wall have survived to our days. Thickness of the wall at its bottom is about 5 meters. Administrative buildings of the Nizhny Novgorod region and the Nizhny Novgorod city government are situated behind this ancient defensive wall. Various exhibitions are placed in the Kremlin towers. A part of the wall is opened for visitors.
