Kolomna Kremlin is a very large fortress in Kolomna, Russia. The stone Kolomna Kremlin was built from 1525-1531 under the Russian Tzar Vasily III. Before its reconstruction in 1531, the Kolomna Kremlin was made of wood. On its territory there are many Russian churches and monasteries: Uspensky cathedral, Voskresenky Cathedral, Spassky monastery (14th century), and a number of others.

Kolomna is an ancient city in Moscow Oblast, Russia, situated at the confluence of the Moskva and Oka Rivers. The city was founded (or rathert first mentioned in chronicles) in 1177. It is currently the administrative center of Kolomensky District of Moscow Oblast. Population: 150,129 (2002 Census); 161,881 (1989 Census).
Like some other ancient Russian towns, Kolomna has a kremlin, which is a citadel similar to the more famous one in Moscow (it is also built from red brick). Kolomna citadel was a part of the Great Abatis Border. Several towers and two parts of walls have been preserved and are held in good shape; a museum is located inside.
