The Faceted tower (Грановитая башня) is part of the defensive wall of the Kolomna Kremlin. The tower was built in 1525-1531. In the 1980s, the upper tier of the tower was restored.
The uniqueness of this tower is in its form: its outer part has the shape of a hexagon, while the inner part (which is inside the Kremlin) has the shape of a parallelepiped. In the Kolomna Kremlin there are no more towers similar to this one.
