Vodozvodnaya Tower

Vodozvodnaya Tower

Totally, the Kremlin has 20 towers. The Vodozvodnaya (Water-Drawing) Tower is one of three corner towers , which are round in shape. It stands on the bank of the Moscow River near the Bolshoi Kamenny Most (Big Stone Bridge). The tower was built in 1488 and is almost 59 meters tall. In the year of 1633 a special pumping mechanism was built inside the Tower to draw water from Moscow-River for the Court, which had always been there in the Kremlin, up to the reign of Peter the Great.

Recently, I invited my mother and my mother-in-law (both 80 years old) to visit me in Moscow. I was wondering how I could show them the city as they both would not be able to walk more than 100 m. But then I met Arthur and suddenly solutions for everything were in place - a car, wheel chairs, nice tours and - most importantly - a guy with a big heart! My mothers were so happy and I have no words to express my gratitude to Arthur for all his patience and kindness with these old ladies. Thank you, Arthur! The world is nicer with people like you!
