St. Basil`s Cathedral
|
| |
 |
 |
 |
|
| The cathedral, sitting at the far end of Red Square, with its instantly recognisable and colourful, onion-shaped domes and spires, has graced the square for over four centuries. Built to commemorate Ivan the Terrible's capture of the Mongol stronghold of the Kazan in 1552, its popular name commemorates St Basil the Blessed who foretold the Moscow fire of 1547 and whose remains were buried in the former cathedral that stood on this site. |
