  2. If only the stones could speak…

  3. The Kazan Kremlin The Kazan Kremlin, a magnificent architectural ensemble bearing traces of many centuries of building activity, is enclosed by high, white stone walls with characteristic loop-holes and thirteen hipped roofed towers. The most remarkable building of the Kremlin is the Suyumbika Tower, seven storeys and 58 metres high. Its distinctive profile, visible from all sides, is balanced by the contours of the Spassky (Saviour) Tower which stands at the opposite end of the Kremlin. The city-fortress was formerly surrounded by water on three sides: the River Kazanka formed the northern boundary, to the east lay three lakes, and to the west was an artificial waterway, the Bulak Canal, constructed long ago by Tatar builders to join the Kazanka with Lake Kaban. This canal served both defense and navigation needs: goods from the Volga and Kazanka could be brought right up to the walls of the city. In medieval times the Kremlin ramparts were constructed of oak beams, while the buildings inside were of both wood and stone.

  4. The English traveller Jenkinson wrote in his memoirs in 1558: "Kazan is a beautiful city, built in the Russian and Tatar style, with a strong castle, standing on a high hill".

  5. The Kamal State Academic Theatre The first public theatre performance in Tatar took place on December 22, 1906 in Kazan. In 1996 the Tatar State Academic Theatre, named after Galiaskar Kamal, moved to a new building on the bank of lake Kaban. The building resembles a sailor above the water. Big stained-glass windows with view of the lake, balconies, where spectators walk, winter garden with fountains, portrait gallery and sculptures of prominent theatre figures are there in the foyer of the theatre.
