The wall and towers of the Moscow Kremlin are among the oldest surviving structures in Moscow. Originally they were built as a fortification to protect the core of the city from attack. Most of the present fortification complex was built by Italian architects in the late 15th century. A continuous city wall, 20 watchtowers and a former fold-up access bridge to one of the towers are preserved today.
