Map of the City of Kazan in the 16th Century

This map from the 1830s depicts the siege of the city of Kazan in 1552. The siege lasted from August to October and ultimately decided the Russo-Kazan War. Subsequently the Khanate of Khazan, which since 1438 had been the successor to the Golden Horde with Kazan as its capital, became part of the Russian Empire.
