Remnants of the XIX cent. Kiev fortifications (three out of six so called "Round Towers")

The other "Round Towers" (or "Kruglye Bashni," in Russian) are located to the north–north-east from these, here and here. I'm not sure about the location of the sixth and the last of them, probably this is it.
Sat Sep 02 23:26:40 -0700 2006 These fortifications were built during the rein of Nicholas I of Russia. They soon had lost their military importance and were used as barracks, depots or prisons. A Kiev restaurant "Kruglaya Bashnya" is located in one of them today, another serves as a shopping mall. From: barbatus
Something I should have mentioned: the most known (at least, about 30 years ago) of the "Round Towers" was the one at the bottom of the picture above, because the Division of the Internal Troops for the Ukraine and Moldavia used to be stationed there.Tue Jul 08 15:16:28 -0700 2008 |
