Kremlin at Rostov

The Kremlin involves ancient buildings: the Prince's Chambers, the Metropolitan's House, Cathedral of the Assumption with the five churches built in the XVII century, eleven towers and other buildings. All these buildings are surrounded by massive walls with crossings about one km. long. The Kremlin was never supposed to protect the town; its main function was to be the residence of the local head of church. So it was skillfully decorated, rather than fortified.
