Bell Tower of Zilantov Uspensky Monastery in Kazan

Фото 1
The fourth bell tower in the history of the monastery was built only in 2001 and is the smallest in the Kazan diocese, making it unique. It resembles a white candle, wide enough only for a spiral staircase inside. The bell tower houses six new small bells, cast in Voronezh in the same year. Three tiers of arches, stacked one above the other, give it an amazing filigree and lightness, despite the almost complete absence of decorative elements that were characteristic of the previous bell tower by architect Malinovsky. The blue tent creates the impression that it dissolves into the clear sky. Text from A. Roshektayev's book "History of the Holy Uspensky Monastery on Zilant Mountain in Kazan."
