Palace Tower In Novgorod Fortress, Russia Royalty-Free Stock Photography

The Palace Tower is a quadrangular blind impassable tower of the Novgorod citadel. The tower is crowned with a nine-meter tent. Initially, the tower had six tiers; the vault of the lower tier was presumably dismantled at the end of the 16th century. There are 37 loopholes and trench openings in the tower. There are two openings in the lower part of the tower: a door opening on the side of the citadel and a gate opening on the Volkhov side. On the facade facing the source of the Volkhov, there are decorative elements: three round rosettes, a narrow brick strip of a runner and a semi-roll; on several loopholes, internal paintings have been preserved.
