The must-see tallest structure in the Kremlin! For a while, it was the tallest structure in Moscow. The Ivan the Great Bell Tower holds deep religious and cultural significance in Russia. It is located in Cathedral Square, surrounded by other important religious buildings, such as the Dormition Cathedral, Annunciation Cathedral, and Cathedral of the Archangel, forming the spiritual heart of Moscow. Its bells were rung to mark key religious events and royal ceremonies, connecting the people of Moscow to the spiritual and political life of the nation. In addition to its religious role, the bell tower became a symbol of Moscow's growth and power. For centuries, its height made it a literal and symbolic centerpiece of the city, reflecting the ambitions of the Russian state to become a powerful empire. Visitors can still explore the tower and climb to the viewing platform for breathtaking views of the Kremlin and the city of Moscow. The bells are still present, though they are no longer rung regularly, preserving the historical ambiance of the structure.

Ivan the Great's Bell Tower is a feature attraction within the Kremlin in Moscow. Entrance requires a separate ticket (250 RUB) to the rest of the cathedrals on Cathedral Square (500 RUB). The belfry was constructed in 1508 for the three main Russian Orthodox cathedrals (Assumption, Annunciation and Archangel) which don't have their own bell towers. It is 81 metres in height and topped with a golden doom with cross. Ivan the Great's Bell Tower is an important landmark and beautiful building to see and photograph even if you don't have time or intent to visit the inside. You can see the tower clearly from from pretty much everywhere within the Kremlin given its height over the churchs at Cathedral Square. In addition to the tower, you will also find Tsar's Bell and Tsar's Cannon situated just outside Ivan the Great's Tower. These are both enormous in size and fun minor attractions to view and take pictures of when visiting the Kremlin as well.

Своим названием колокольня обязана каменной церкви святого Иоанна Лествичника (1329 год), на месте которой в 1505-1508 гг. выстроена колокольня «Иван Великий». Нынешний архитектурный ансамбль колокольни, состоящий из трёх элементов - столпа колокольни «Иван Великий», Успенской звонницы и Филаретовой пристройки, сформировался в 1815 году, когда Успенская звонница и Филаретова пристройка, взорванные французскими оккупантами при отступлении из Москвы в 1812 году, были восстановлены. Ансамбль колокольни - в составе Государственного историко-культурного музея-заповедника «Московский Кремль». Колокольня «Иван Великий» открыта для посещения ежедневно, кроме четверга, по сеансам на конкретное время, билеты можно приобрести в кассах в Александровском саду, подробности - на официальном сайте Музеев Кремля...
