Kazan is the capital and largest city of Tatarstan, Russia, lying at the confluence of the Volga and Kazanka rivers with a population of over 1.3 million. One of Russia's oldest cities, it is known for the Kazan Kremlin, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that combines an Orthodox cathedral and a major mosque within the same fortress walls, reflecting the city's long history as a meeting point of Russian and Tatar, Christian and Muslim culture.
