10 Architectural Buildings in Red Square & Kitay-gorod That You Shouldn't Miss

December 18, 2021 Roger Rusk

The political, scientific, historical, architectural and business center of Russia, Moscow displays the country's contrasts at their most extreme. The ancient and modern are juxtaposed side by side in this city of 10 million. Catch a metro from one of the ornate stations to see Red Square, the Kremlin, the nine domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Mausoleum, the KGB Museum and other symbols of Moscow's great and terrible past, then lighten up and shop Boulevard Ring or people watch in Pushkin Square.

Church of the Deposition of the Virgin's Robe

This elegant Cathedral Square church, named for a legendary sacred robe, typifies Moscow architecture and is notable for its frescoes and wooden sculpture displays.

Reviewed By KatrinaMolini - Corciano, Italy

This is a private church of the metropolitans and patriarchs of Moscow and all the Russia. The architecture is influenced by Muscovite and Pskovian traditions. Inside it does feel small and cozy as a private church should be I guess. I loved the murals and iconostasis. You are not allowed to take photos here but I snapped a few :)

Moscow Metro

Reviewed By ukienomad - Fleming Island, United States

The subway or underground lives up to its reputation as it is clean, and a piece of art with beautiful chandeliers, frescoes, large bronze statues, marble, etc. the trains run very frequently and as soon as one leaves, there seems to be another one in a matter of minutes. They do have English speaking people to help you get tickets as well as English vending machines. And the fares are very reasonable as this is the most frequent use of transportation for the locals.
