I am a history buff, as you know. So I couldn't miss the Thunder Tower during my short visit to Smolensk. It is situated in the south-western part of the fortress. It is called thunder because it used to be a powderhouse. Now it is a military museum. The entrance is from the ground floor (literally) from the inner side of the fortress. The museum covers the military history of the middle ages mainly. From one of the upper levels one can enter a short stretch of the fortress wall.

I can proudly brag about covering the whole length of the fortress wall. I did not do it at once. It took me several years to do that. In the past some sections were neglected. Anyone could climb over there and walk amid piles of garbage. This time I was pleasantly surprised to see a well-kept wall.
