980 RU - Historic and Architectural Complex of the Kazan Kremlin (2000)

Brief Description

"Built on an ancient site, the Kazan Kremlin dates from the Muslim period of the Golden Horde and the Kazan Khanate. It was conquered by Ivan the Terrible in 1552 and became the Christian See of the Volga Land. The only surviving Tatar fortress in Russia and an important place of pilgrimage, the Kazan Kremlin consists of an outstanding group of historic buildings dating from the 16th to 19th centuries, integrating remains of earlier structures of the 10th to 16th centuries."

喀山克里姆林宫
"建在古老遗址上的喀山克里姆林宫可追溯到黄金游牧部落和喀山可汗的穆斯林时代。因1552年被伊凡四世征服而成为伏尔加基 督教区。喀山克里姆林宫是俄罗斯唯一保存下来的鞑靼人要塞和重要的朝圣地。在这里,公元16世纪到19世纪美仑美奂的历史建筑群与公元10世纪到16世纪 的早期建筑得到了绝妙结合。"
