The Kazan Kremlin

In Russia there is a place where a very tall building called the Kazan Kremlin stands. The Kremlin is a famous wall that has seven legends. One of them is that the last queen of Kazan threw herself off the top of the Kremlin after the Kremlin was taken by the Muscovite troops.
Another legend has it that the tower was named after yoke which was used by a little girl as a weapon to fight against the Tartars. When the Tartars were finished fighting her they decided not to go against her people because they didn’t want to see the devastation.
The Kremlin is surrounded by a large and thick wall with cannons and soldiers on it. On the inside there are houses and churches; it is basically a town. It is said that the Kazan Kremlin was actually built by the Russians as a watchtower for military purposes and other stuff, but as the people got older other people came in and took it over.
