Тульский кремль
History Museum
Open Details
The oldest building of the city, the Kremlin, was founded in 1520. By the way, in September 2020 the Kremlin celebrated its 500th anniversary.
The wooden stockaded town on the site of the Kremlin was founded by order of Prince Vasily Ioanovich in 1509.
In 1605, False Dmitry I was hiding in the Tula Kremlin. In 1607, the troops of Vasily Shuisky besieged the Kremlin, which housed the leaders of peasants, Ivan Bolotnikov and Ileyko Muromets.
In the era of Peter I, the Kremlin lost its significance, ceasing to meet in the registers of fortresses.
To learn more about the history of the fortress, you can visit the Kremlin Museum and look at a model of the Kremlin and archaeological finds.
Hours of work:
Monday to Thursday, Sunday: 10:00-18:00.
