Epiphany Cathedral Bell Tower
Колокольня Богоявленского собора
A 74-metre red-brick bell tower on Bauman Street, the tallest bell tower in Kazan, next to the church where the bass singer Chaliapin was baptised.
Located in the middle of Bauman Pedestrian Street, this is the bell tower of the Epiphany Cathedral, built in the late 19th century. It stands about 74 metres tall, and its red-and-white Russian-style façade is striking, making it Kazan's tallest bell tower and a visual focal point of Bauman Street. The neighbouring Epiphany Church, built in the 18th century, is where the famous bass singer Chaliapin was baptised. The bell tower can be admired from outside, and the church is free to enter. Dress appropriately.
