Vlasyevskaya (Znamenskaya) Tower
Власьевская (Знаменская) башня
A 17th-century tower and surviving piece of the old town's defensive works, standing beside Volkov Square in the city centre as one of Yaroslavl's landmarks.
Built in the 17th century as a gate tower in the earthen fortress walls of Yaroslavl, the tower was preserved after the walls were dismantled. Its upper tent-roofed section and bell were added later. It is also known as the Znamenskaya Tower. It sits between Volkov Square and the pedestrian street, surrounded by shops and cafés, so it makes an easy stop while exploring the old town. Exterior viewing only; free of charge.
