St. Basil’s Cathedral

St. Basil’s Cathedral is a iconic symbol of the city, and a must to see for any tourists visiting Moscow. The location is quite convenient as it is in the hearth of the city's down town. The recommended sightseeing time is half an hour or maximum one hour. This is a building that lets you really understand the scale and magnificent appearance of public buildings in the past. I strongly recommend to visit this place during the day and during the night time, the lights makes the whole place to look stunning. This place gets very crowded over the weekends so if you have the chance to go during weekdays you will avoid big groups. #createwithtrip #holidays #exploring #russia #createwithtrip

Moscow landmark onion church Many people have an impression of Moscow from this church but a few people know that the onion head of this Orthodox church has a total of nine And from every angle, the plane of the facade western church is a long and short cross and as an Orthodox church, its plane is a positive "ten" shape this with its positive eight The shape of the edge is very consistent and it also shows the difference between it and the church in the West. The top of the nine churches is not at the beginning but later added separately not to know St. Petersburg also has a church of almost similar shape called the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood.

The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed is the most famous church in Russia, its onion top rooftops composed of 9 different shapes and colors is world famous, and may be said to be a landmark building in the Kremlin and Red Square area. Here the delicate and outstanding architectural artistry of this Eastern Orthodox church appears in vivid detail, and is now part of the national historical museum. Inside there are many wall paintings worthy of admiration of Eastern European peoples from around the 16th Century. The church was constructed at the end of the 16th century, in order to commemorate the pacification of Kazan Khanate by Ivan the Terrible. It is said that Ivan the Terrible ordered the architect to be blinded, so that he would never make a building more beautiful than this one. This story discredits Ivan the Terrible while at the same time paradoxically reflecting the great beauty of the church. St. Basil’s cathedral is composed of a series of small churches. At a glance they form a tangled maze, but in fact they have a regular organization: at the center of each church there is a lofty tower with a high arched roof, with a height of around 47 meters. The drum shaped dome is golden and shining, and the beam-shaped cylindrical tower is inlaid with niches on upper levels, and on lower levels has a row of high oval windows. Surrounded by 4 large chapels with octagonal towers, the roof is adorned with a huge “Onion Head” dome. Diagonally, between the 4 towers, there are 4 small chapels. The front doors of the 8 towers all face the winding corridor of the central church, and in all directions the outside of the church is surrounded by corridors and stairways. The colors of the onion head domes are magnificent, scintillating in the sunlight, seeming like a castle out of children’s tales.

If there is any particularly nice building near the Red Square, it is nothing more than the "Vasily Ascension Church". This church, which has appeared on numerous Russian tourism brochures, the shape of the top of the onion in the Orthodox Church, and the color matching, undoubtedly represent the architectural image of Moscow and even Russia. In front of the church is the statue of the national hero Minin and Pozharsky. From 1611 to 1612, they defeated the Polish aggressor army and liberated Moscow. Basic information: opening time:
