[kl-bogel] Keindahan Kazan Kremlin

The main attraction of Kazan, of course, is her Kremlin. As I wrote in Russia to keep about 20 sites, which are called the "Kremlin" and Kazan Kremlin is one of the best preserved.
In addition, the Kazan Kremlin is unique because its territory adjoin each other Russian and Tatar monuments and Orthodox churches and Muslim mosques. The Kazan Kremlin was a witness against Tatar and Russian troops in the past and the present is a symbol of the unity of the two peoples.
Of the two days spent in Kazan, I spent almost a whole day just to check the Kremlin, and I invite you with me for a walk.
