This tower takes its name from the Trinity Monastery of St. Sergius which once had a mission nearby. The tower's Trinity Gate used to be the entrance for patriarchs and the tsars' wives and daughters. At 76m (249ft) high, the seven-story Trinity Tower is the Kremlin's tallest. It was built in 1495-9 and in 1516 was linked by a bridge over the Neglinnaya River to the Kutafya Tower. The river now runs underground and the Kutafya Tower is the sole survivor of the circle of towers that were originally built to defend the Kremlin walls.
