The only survivor of the Kremlin in the Samara region is located at the confluence of Syzranki, Volga and Krymzy in the city of Syzran. Near the Kremlin is one of the oldest churches in the province - Church of the Nativity. Both historic buildings form the architectural ensemble of the Kremlin hill.

One of the first decrees of the Tsar Peter I was the strengthening of the strategic points on the Volga. "The weakness of" the southern tip of Syzran Samara bows were often subjected to attacks of the nomadic peoples. In 1683, under the supervision of magistrates G.A.Kozlovskogo began construction of the fortress. Initially Syzran Kremlin had four wooden towers and a stone, have survived to the present day. Stone tower, first acted as a portal, and later was converted, and inside was undeveloped church in honor of Our Saviour. Today, the 27-meter tower is the Spasskaya object of cultural heritage of federal importance. The tower is a museum of the history of Syzran Kremlin, and under the dome tent is the belfry, where every day at 11 am performed bell concerts.

Church of the Nativity was built in 1717 on the site of a wooden cathedral that was built in 1683 (at the base of Syzran). After a major fire in 1728, the church was rebuilt in the style of Moscow medieval architecture. As such, the Temple of Christ preserved to this day.
