Spasskaya Tower in Vyazma

This is the only surviving tower of the Vyazma fortress, which was built in the 1630s under Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich to guard the western frontier. Of the six stone towers a single one is left, squat, with a base that widens sharply towards the ground and a wooden tented roof. It stands by the walls of the Arkadyevsky Monastery on the edge of the old town.
