More information:

The Söyembikä Tower is also called the Khan's Mosque, was once the most familiar landmark of Kazan however I expect the Blue towered Mosque is now more prominent. Once the highest structure of that city's Kremlin, it used to be one of the so-called leaning towers. It is claimed that a range of stabilization techniques have tried straighten the tower so that it no longer leans. However, to the naked eye this appears to have failed.
