The Moscow Kremlin

The Moscow Kremlin is a complex of buildings located in the heart of Moscow and is a symbol of the Russian Federation. This complex is shaped like an irregular triangle, surrounded by red palace walls, like a "city within a city." It has also been inscribed on the World Heritage List. The main buildings that can currently be visited include the Armoury Chamber, the Patriarch's Palace, the Assumption Cathedral, the Church of the Deposition of the Robe, and the Ivan the Great Bell Tower. The State Kremlin Palace From Red Square, you can already see the ring of red palace walls of the attraction. The main entrance is at the Kutafya Tower outside the western wall. After entering, you have to walk up a short slope to get inside the palace walls. You will see the State Kremlin Palace, built of marble, glass, and concrete. This building houses a ballet theater, where performances are often held. To the north is the Armoury, surrounded outside by 800 cannons from Napoleon I. East of the Armoury is the yellow Senate. The Patriarch's Palace To the east of the State Kremlin Palace, you can see the Patriarch's Palace. One of the must-see places inside is the solemn Cross Chamber, which was once the venue for banquets held by the tsar and envoys. The palace also has an exhibition of 17th-century royal items, including jewelry and furniture. Cathedral Square Next to the Patriarch's Palace is Cathedral Square, where there are four churches. The Assumption Cathedral has five golden helmet-shaped domes, and a striking mural of the Virgin Mary above the door faces Cathedral Square. The nearby Church of the Deposition of the Robe is smaller, and its woodcarving exhibition and the murals on the beams and columns are worth seeing. The nearby Cathedral of the Archangel was the funeral church of the tsars, and its scalloped gables are very distinctive. Another church, the Annunciation Cathedral, has a gallery where you can see many 16th-century murals, and there is also an archaeological exhibition in the basement. Ivan the Great Bell Tower Standing east of Cathedral Square is the Ivan the Great Bell Tower, with two golden domes that are very eye-catching. This is the tallest building inside the palace, and this landmark is also easy to see from outside the palace. Next to the bell tower, you can see the Tsar Bell. It weighs more than 200 tons and is one of the largest bells in the world, but unfortunately it can no longer ring. Nearby there is also a Tsar Cannon, whose body and base are exquisitely decorated and can be called a work of art. The museum's rich treasures are dazzling. You can see various Fabergé eggs made of precious metals and gemstones. These were gifts exchanged between the tsar and the empress at Easter. Among them, the most dazzling is the Trans-Siberian Railway Egg, with a golden train, a platinum locomotive, and ruby lights. In addition, the thrones, crowns, carriages, and other items in the Royal Exhibition Hall are also worth carefully viewing.
