Even the river was defended by Pskov Kremlin

In 1500 defensive functions of the city were strengthened. That is why the entry into the Pskova river from the Velikaya river was blocked by the building of two towers – the Ploskaya tower and the Vysokaya (Voskresenskaya) tower from the two sides of the Pskova river. Between those towers a wall was raised right above the water with the bars lowered into the river.
