Located in the center of Rostov near Lake Nero. At present, the ensemble of the Kremlin consists of the Bishop's Court, Cathedral Square adjoining it from the north with the Assumption Cathedral and from the south - the Metropolitan Garden[1].

During construction, Rostov no longer had any defensive significance, and therefore the Kremlin’s defensive structures have some architectural simplifications that would have to be eliminated in case of military danger - wide entrance gates, the absence of plantar loopholes in the towers, the line of the upper battle in the towers continues windows with platbands and others. However, the Kremlin was built in the tradition of Russian defense construction of an earlier period and is a monument of Russian military architecture of the pre-Petrine era. Since 1998, the Rostov Kremlin has been on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List.
