Tsar Cannon, Kremlin complex, Moscow, Russia
The Tsar Cannon on display in the Kremlin complex, Moscow, Russia. It was cast in the late 16th century and weighs nearly 38 metric tonnes. The cannonballs were added in the 19th century, but the larger ones are too big to be used in this cannon. The ornate carriage is also a 19th century addition. A large number of soldiers and civilians are grouped around the cannon
