The Suzdal Kremlin (Russian: Суздальский кремль) is the oldest part of the city of Suzdal, Russia, dating from the 10th century.[1] Like other Russian kremlins, it was originally a fortress or citadel which was the religious and administrative center of the city. It is most notably the site of the Cathedral of the Nativity.
Together with several structures in the neighboring city of Vladimir, it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.[2]
