14 Kutafya Tower Entrance to the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia

After finishing your walking tour of Red Square, it is time to explore the inside of the Kremlin. The main tourist entrance is at Kutafya Tower. It overlooks Alexander Garden that was originally a moat. This bridgehead was built in 1516. Perhaps the Italian architect Aloisio da Milano was insulted when his 44 foot tower was named Kutafya. In Russian, this mean ugly woman. Plenty of operators offer private and group tours of the Kremlin. For self-guided excursions, four different packages are sold.
