    Verkhoturye Kremlin

    Verkhoturye, Ural, Russia

    Verkhoturye Kremlin (ostrog) was founded in 1598 on the site of the ancient settlement of the Mansi tribe. For over a hundred years it was wooden. The construction of a white-stone fortress town on the top of a rocky cliff rising 26 meters above the Tura began in 1703 by the order of Peter I.
