List of Moscow Kremlin towers
The following is a list of towers of Moscow Kremlin. The Kremlin Wall is a defensive wall that surrounds the Moscow Kremlin, recognizable by the characteristic notches and its towers. The original walls were likely a simple wooden fence with guard towers built in 1156. The Kremlin is flanked by 19 towers with a 20th, the Koutafia Tower, not part of its walls.
== Borovitskaya ==
The Borovitskaya Tower ((ロシア語:Боровицкая башня)) is a corner tower with a through-passage on the west side of the Kremlin. It is named after Borovitsky Hill, one of the seven hills Moscow is standing on. The tower was constructed in 1490 on the spot of an old Kremlin gate by Italian architect Pietro Antonio Solari (Petr Fryazin, from ''fryaz'' or ''fryag'' as Italians were called at that time) by order of Vasili III of Russia. In 1658 by orders of tzar Aleksey I of Russia the tower was renamed to ''Predtechenskaya'' (from the Russian word ''предтеча'' — ''predtecha'', ''the forerunner'') after the Church of John the Forerunner, which was later destroyed during the construction of the Kremlin Armoury (''Oruzheynaya Palata''). The new name, however, never became popular. In 1812, the tower was damaged by an explosion staged by the retreating French army. In 1817-19, the tower was restored by architect Osip Bove. In 1935, the Soviets installed a red star on top of the tower. Following the closure of the Spassky Gate on red square to all traffic at the end of the 90's, the Borovitsky gate became the main vehicle passage way. Together with the star, its height is 54.05 m.
