The date of construction of Söyembikä Tower is uncertain. Some scholars date it to before the conquest of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible in 1552. Others put the date later; in the 17th or 18th centuries. (Source: Wikipedia)
The Annunciation Cathedral dates from 1561 to 1562. It has been reconstructed several times.
The Spassky tower was first built in 1556-1562. It has been developed and re-built several times over the years.
