Kremlin Clock

The clock of the Moscow Kremlin

The Kremlin Clock (Russian: Кремлёвские часы, romanized: Kremlyovskiye chasy) or Kremlin Chimes (Russian: Кремлёвские куранты, romanized: Kremlyovskiye kuranty), also known colloquially in the West as Moscow Clock Tower, is a historic clock on the Spasskaya Tower of Moscow Kremlin. The clock dial is above the main gates to Red Square. For decades, the chimes have rung on the quarter-hour, with bells tolling for each full hour.[1]
