Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Fortified heritage
Kolomna Kremlin
Kolomna Kremlin is also a lived-in neighbourhood. Walking between surviving stretches of wall and Cathedral Square reveals the city inside its 16th-century fortress. A walk around the grounds does not automatically include entry to the towers.
Fortified heritage
Marinkina Tower
Marinkina Tower and the adjoining wall reveal Kolomna’s fortifications at close range. Its massive silhouette marks one end of the former enclosure. This suggested stop is an exterior visit; entry inside depends on a confirmed programme.
Museum
Kolomna Pastila Museum Factory
In the former Chuprikov factory, the museum explores how Kolomna pastila is made. Theatrical visits combine craft techniques, workshops and tasting according to the format. Entry is by guided visit only: book before coming to Polyanskaya Street.
Religious building
Staro-Golutvin Monastery
Away from the old centre, Old Golutvin Monastery brings together churches, a bell tower and a walled enclosure with towers. Its setting near the river confluence offers another view of Kolomna. This is an active monastery: check which areas welcome visitors and respect services.
