History
editMentioned for the first time in 1177, Kolomna[9]was founded in 1140–1160 according to the latest archaeological surveys.[10]Kolomna's name may originate from theOld Russianterm for "on the bend (in the river)", especially as the old city is located on a sharp bend in theMoscow River.In January 1238, Kolomna wasdestroyedby aMongol invasion.[11]In 1301, Kolomna became the first town to be incorporated into theMoscow Principality.[12]
Like some other ancient Russian cities, it has akremlin,which is acitadelsimilar to themore famous one in Moscowand also built of redbrick.[13]The stone Kolomna Kremlin was built from 1525–1531 under the Russian TsarVasily III.The Kolomna citadel was a part of theGreat Abatis Border[14]and, although much of the surrounding wall was removed in the eighteenth century and materials used to construct other public buildings, the remaining stretch of wall, several towers, and some interior buildings have been preserved and held in good shape with a museum located inside. In front of the façade stands a statue ofDmitry Donskoy,celebrating the gathering of his troops in Kolomna prior to theBattle of Kulikovoin 1380.
Thecivic armsof Kolomna were granted byEmpress Catherine II,who was influenced by the similar-sounding name of the famousColonnafamily ofRome.Hence, the similar appearance of the arms, despite there being no connection between the Roman family and the city of Kolomna.
Due to sensitive military production of missile components, Kolomna was aclosed cityuntil 1994. It is not listed as a city of theGolden Ring,despite its kremlin and the large number of well-preserved churches and monasteries.
