The tower has a high dome and observation deck (the attic). It had the function of protecting the line of walls in the descent to the river is Great. The name of the exhibition hall of the tower was given by Blaise Church (1372-1373) at the Dovmont wall on the sloping descent to the crossing of the river Great.

If we consider the location of the gate the exhibition hall of the tower in time, before the end of the seventeenth century, we can see that the historical complex around it were constantly increasing, and the role of the tower was increased. To the immediate protection of the Kremlin and Dovmont town increased defense of the princely court and shopping area. Also, the battle tower was protecting the waterway from the Great river and crossing from the West.

In the XV century, the exhibition hall of the tower was one of the 4 main gate towers of the city. Next with 4 gates were installed powerful arquebuses (ground guns), each of which had its own name. To cap it all, next to Vlasievskii gateway to the Shopping area have been installed 2 cannon tent, which kept a lot of cannon outfit. On the contrary Vlasievsky gate, in the tent, stood 2 arquebuses; one of them was spitting image of the serpent (master A. Chokhov), on the other a picture of a bear (master Sergei Dubinin). In the second tent, the Dovmont wall, was a large Renaissa gun. Here was located 3 arquebuses (Nightingale, bars and faceted) and 16 guns-calanoc, decorated with inscriptions in Latin and images flowered ornaments, crosses, and animals.

In 1682 happened a devastating fire that destroyed the exhibition hall of the tower. Long time not repaired. And only in 1699 on the site of the burned tower was built new (pine). In the XVIII century, during the Northern war, almost new exhibition hall of the tower slowly fell into disrepair. The approaches from the great were fortified earthworks. At the entrance to the tower was covered by a small Bastion, raised the barrier and the guard with him. In 1778, after redevelopment of Pskov, the tower became a hindrance for the descent to the river. The district Zavelichie was a promising part of the city, traffic on the floating bridge has increased, and the drive through crankshaft gate became very uncomfortable. To 1820 years the tower was dismantled and in its place erected a small exhibition hall of the chapel that existed in the twentieth century.

Currently, the exhibition hall of the tower is a replica, recreated in 1966 on the site of the tower of the XV century. Playback the exhibition hall of the tower was planned in the structure plan for the reconstruction of the Kremlin in 1952. The redevelopment plan was established by 1957, when the Kremlin had begun large-scale work, and the tower came up to 1960-th years. Architect A. I. Hamzavi archaeological excavations were conducted on opening the foundations of the tower. On the basis of descriptions and graphic materials, 1694, was developed the project of reconstruction of the exhibition hall of the tower.

A. I. AMCOW in their work took into account the need for driveways to the embankment, when the tower was not in scope: he decided to leave wide vlasyevsky descent, and travel through the tower was not used. By the way, when the tower was erected, was built the building of the cinema "October", blocked a main visual message from the city to the exhibition hall of the tower, which was "in the pit".
