I walked up to the Suyumbike Tower during a detour from a conference in in Kazan a few years ago. The day was gray but the tower stood tall against the sky. Brick on brick, leaning a little, not much, but enough to make you see it was different. It had its own weight, its own time.

The view from there was wide. The city stretched out with the river beyond, slow and quiet. The tower had charm. Not the polished kind, but the kind that stays with you because it is strange, because it is old, because it has lived longer than men who pass it.

It was a good place to stand and look. A peculiar tower, and...

Жемчужиной Казанского Кремля поэтично называют архитектурный символ Казани — башню Сююмбике, которая, кроме своей исторической значимости, также известна, как объект городской мифологии. Это одна из так называемых падающих башен, поскольку имеет сильный вертикальный наклон на северо-восточную сторону.

Высота башни Сююмбике — 58 м, а расположение внутри Кремля на возвышенности, в отдалении от крепостных стен, определило ее назначение в качестве сторожевой, или дозорной, башни. Панорамный вид на Волгу и Казанку, а также окрестности Кремля, как нельзя лучше подходил для оборонительных целей.

Вопрос о времени постройки башни Сююмбике — одна из ее загадок. Ибо не сохранился ни архив документов времен Казанского ханства, ни градостроительные планы Казани 16-17 веков (они сгорели при московском пожаре 1701 г). Поэтому версий постройки несколько: 17-18 века, вторая половина 16 века или даже период Казанского ханства, до взятия Казани Иваном Грозным в 1552 г.

Каким же образом башня Сююмбике связана с царицей Сююмбике — одной из легендарных женщин в истории исламского мира, женой казанских ханов Джан-Али и Сафа-Гирея, прапраправнучкой главы династии Ногайской Орды — Едигея, которая несколько лет была правительницей Казанского ханства?

По одной из мифологических версий царица построила башню в честь своего любимого мужа Сафа-Гирея, умершего в 1549 г. По другой — башню соорудили за 7 дней по приказу Ивана Грозного, который пожелал взять Сююмбике в жены, но та с горя бросилась с седьмого яруса башни.

В реальности, зафиксированной в документах, царица Сююмбике вместе с сыном Утямыш-Гиреем была предана своими мурзами и выдана Ивану Грозному вместе с казанской казной. Через полтора года против ее воли Сююмбике выдали замуж за хана Шах-Али, а ее сын остался на воспитание при...

The tower, once part of the city's kremlin and known for its lean, was straightened in the 1930s and 1990s. Its construction date is uncertain, with some suggesting the 18th century, while legend claims it was built in a week by Ivan the Terrible's artisans. Scholars debate its purpose, with some questioning the need for a military watchtower in a peaceful region. The tower's architecture, influenced by Tatar design, suggests it may be older than the 18th century. Over time, its top symbol changed from a double-headed eagle to a red star and now a...
