Dmitrievskaya Tower
Building in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dmitrievskaya Tower (Russian: Дмитриевская башня, romanized: Dmitrievskaya bashnya) is the main tower on the southern wall of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin which overlooks the Minin and Pozharsky Square. The tower named after a powerful Prince of Suzdal and Nizhny Novgorod Dmitry of Suzdal. Another version claims that the name gave a church which was sanctified of the name of Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki. This church was located opposite the tower.[1]
