Kremlin Wall was commissioned by Ivan the Great and primarily constructed from 1485 until 1495. Its triangular shape around Moscow Kremlin measures 7,333 feet. At its extremes, the red brick walls are 62 feet high and 21 feet thick. There are 1,045 embrasures along its crenelated top. In the southwest corner of the Kremlin Wall is the Vodovzvodnaya Tower. When built in 1488, it was called the Sviblova Tower. The word Vodovzvodnaya means water lifting, so it is sometimes referred to as the Water Supplying or Water Pump Tower. The 203 foot tower was rebuilt in 1805 and again in 1819 after it was destroyed by the French. The red star was added in 1937.
