A “kremlin” is a central fortress in medieval Russian cities, usually located at a strategic point along a river and separated from the surrounding parts of the city by a wooden — later a stone or brick — wall with ramparts, a moat, towers, and battlements.

Located at the confluence of the Pskova River and the Velikaya River, Pskov was a powerful outpost in the North-West of Russia for many centuries.
