Top 10 attractions in Kazan
Kazan Kremlin
This is the ruins of an ornate complex that once served as the main citadel of Tatarstan. Appeared earlier in the period of the Kazan Khan Jin tribe and was conquered by Ivan in 1552, the site complex is also fortunate to be a surviving Tatar castle in Russia, not only that, it is also an important place of worship. According to the will of Ivan the Terrible, it was built on the ruins of the former castle of the Kazan Khanate. It became a World Heritage Site in 2000. The overall momentum is magnificent and well preserved. Here, Orthodox Christianity and Islam are ingeniously combined, and the scenery has always been appreciated by tourists who come here.Kazan · 136m from downtown

Suyumbike Tower
Named after a Kazan queen, the tower is 2 meters off its axis. There is a bleak legend here that Ivan the Terrible, after hearing the story of the beautiful Tatar ruler, sent a matchmaker to Kazan to propose marriage. But the beautiful Suyumbeka refused to be queen of Moscow. Later, the angry Ivan the Terrible took the army to the city of Kazan and said that if Suyumbeka did not agree to marry him, he would destroy the city of Kazan. In order to save the Kazan people, Suyumbeka agreed to the marriage, but at the same time asked for an unusual wedding gift - a tower. The tower was built in just seven days. After the tower was built, a grand wedding reception was held. At the wedding, Suyumbeka climbed to the top of the tower and overlooked her home city. The girl realized she couldn't leave it forever, so she jumped from the tower with tears in her eyes. Hence the name of the tower.Kazan · 28m from downtown

【View】I have been to Suyumbeka Tower many times and I am always amazed every time I visit or pass by Taksim Square. Last time, I was there at 7:30 in the morning and it was pleasant to see the first rays of sunlight on the square. Also, there were a lot of pigeons and a lady feeding them. It was so peaceful, so cute, so nice
