📍 Russia
Taynitskaya Tower, a part of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin, is an architectural marvel built in the 16th century. It stands prominently as a favorite spot for photographers due to its strategic position overlooking the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers, offering panoramic views of the picturesque surroundings. The tower's name, translating to "secret," hints at its historical function as a hidden access point for water supply during sieges. Its robust brick structure and intricate design reflect typical Russian fortification architecture, making it a compelling subject for capturing Russia’s medieval grandeur. Visit during the golden hour for striking light on the red-bricked façade.
