July 16, 2003 - The Czar Cannon

07160301.htm

This final full day in Moscow included a visit to the interior of the Kremlin, a tour of the Armoury (also spelled as 'Armory') and lastly a stroll down the Arbat, Moscow's touristy shopping street.

Once through the Kremlin walls and entry, our first sight to see was the Czar's Cannon, Bell and Bell Tower. The Czar's Bell was cast in 1586, weighing something like 40 tons, and reportedly is the largest cannon of its type ever made.
