April 27, 2018 the Novgorod Museum-Reserve opened for visitors a new museum facility - the White (Alekseevskaya) Tower. It is located on the southern tip of the earthen wall of the Sofia side of Novgorod and is the only preserved stone tower of the city's outer defensive belt of the late XVI-XVII centuries. The tower was erected in 1582-1584, at the same time as the fortifications of the Small Earthen City. It was named after the church of Alexis, a man of God, located nearby.
