The Kazan Kremlin
The stunning white walls of the Kazan Kremlin is the primary attraction
point in Kazan. The Kremlin dates back to the 12th century and hosts
a wealth of sights within its walls.
The most obvious one is the blue and white gem of the Kul Sharif Mosque,
one Russia's largest. Next to it is the Russian Orthodox Blagoveschensky
(Annunciation) Cathedral and the mysterious leaning Tower of Syuyumbike,
the legendary last queen of Kazan.
The Kremlin is home to governmental bodies, a dedicated museum, as well
as shops and cafes. One can easily spend a day here, especially during art
shows and festivals. Sunsets over Kazan, as viewed from the Kremlin, are
incredibly dramatic with deep colours and clouds appearing within reach,
and the air filled with a sweet smell like toffee.
Kazan Kremlin was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000.

The Old Tatar
Quarter
On the left bank of the legendary Kaban lake there lies an
enchanted small town with tin roofs of merchant mansions
and tall minarets of ancient mosques. The Old Tatar Quarter,
once an industrial and trade centre of the city, is now an
"open air museum" with almost every building bearing cultural
significance. Here one can feel the authentic atmosphere of the
old Kazan and learn about the traditional culture of the Tatar
people.View entire presentation
