Volzhskaya tower (Russian: Волжская башня), or Arsenalnaya tower (Russian: Арсенальная башня), is one of the three surviving towers of the fortifications of the Zemlyanoy town (posad) of Yaroslavl. Initially, in the 16th century, six gated towers and twenty blank wooden towers were built on the ramparts.[1]
