This gigantic cannon located on the Ivanovskaya square was ordered in 1586 by Fyodor I who had his effigy engraved on it. Whatever the czar wanted to compensate, he would not find any more success in this undertaking since this cannon never fired a single cannonball. Moreover, those exposed at its side weigh a ton and are slightly too big to fit in its barrel: the legend tells that it was an initiative of the founders of Saint Petersburg to make fun of Moscow. According to the Guinness Book of Records, it is the largest howitzer ever built.

A coté de la reine des cloches, Tsar Kolokol) le tsar des canons.
Il ne servit jamais et est impressionnant par sa taille mais comment aurait il pu
être déplacé ?
Finalement ce ne fut qu'un objet décoratif destiné à montrer la puissance de ses créateurs
