What see:
The first thing we recommend to see in Kazan is the beautiful Kremlin, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is a unique example of culture and civilization, where multiple cultures come together. A place where you can admire Tartar history and culture, as well as Russian and European culture.
The city was right inside the Kremlin (which in Russian means Kremlia fortress) then with growth it also expanded outside the Kremlin. Inside the Kremlin is the Annunciation Cathedral, the oldest and most historic in Kazan. Built in 1552 by order of Ivan the Terrible, it was initially made of wood and was built in honor of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Madonna, later it was rebuilt in stone by the masters of Pskov. Another very important monument to see inside the Kazan Kremlin is the Kul Sharif Mosque
The mosque was built in 1996 on the occasion of the anniversary of the city and in honor of the ancient mosque which was destroyed in 1552 by Ivan the Terrible. It is the largest mosque in Tatarstan, has 8 minarets, 4 of which are 58 meters long. inside it can accommodate 1,500 faithful. Inside there is a museum of the history of Islam in the Volga river area. We recommend visiting the interior of the mosque.
