The Peter (Petrovskaya) Tower is a interstitial blank tower of the south Kremlin's wall. Built in 1480-s between the 2nd Bezymyannaya (Nameless) Tower and the Beklemishev Tower.
Originally, the Petrovskaya (Peter's) Tower was called the 3rd Bezymyannaya, later it was renamed Ugreshskaya after the Kremlin's monastery of the same name. In the XVIIIth century, it was given its present-day name Petrovskaya after the Metropolitan of Moscow Peter's Church, which was an annex of the tower. In 1771, the tower, the Ugreshskiy monastery and the Church were abolished, as they obstructed the ongoing construction of the Grand Kremlin Palace on the project of architect Vassiliy Bazhenov. The tower was rebuilt in 1783. In 1812, the French invaders blew the tower up. Later, it was reconstructed under the supervision of Ossip Bove.
The tower's height is 27,15 meters.

Petrov or Ugresh tower, built in 15th century, has been destroyed many times, last time by the French during Napoleon’s invasion. Right behind it there is the Presidents’ helicopter landing pads, and above it beautiful Kremlin gardens.

Построена в 1480-х годах. В период польской интервенции в 1612 году башня была уничтожена и восстановлена после окончания Смуты, в 1676—1686 годах на башне надстроили каменный шатёр, а в 1771-м Петровскую башню разобрали для строительства нового кремлёвского дворца и вновь реконструировали к 1793 году. Во время войны с Наполеоном башня была взорвана . В 1818-м её восстановили по историческим чертежам под руководством архитектора Осипа Бове .

Правый нижний угол кремлевской стены венчается Петровской башней. Красивый вид открывается на Кремль с Немцовского моста. От этой башни вверх начинается площадь Васильевского спуска, на котором очень часто проходят разного рода концерты. Это своего рода концертная площадка под открытым небом.


Beautiful, yet traffic around this place is heavy on weekdays


Петровская (Угрешская) башня расположена на Южной стене (вдоль набережной). Одна из самых невысоких: всего 27,15 м.
