February 3, 2022 Milan Banda

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.

Resurrection (Voskresenskyie) Gates with Iverskaya Chapel

One of the most honoured of Moscow's holy places, the chapel and gates were taken down in the 1930s and rebuilt in the 1990s.

In 1931, the Resurrection Gate was demolished, together with almost the entire Kitai-gorod Wall, as part of the urban street widening project to allow for the military parades of the Soviet. The Gate and the Chapel were rebuilt in 1995. Historically, the Resurrection Gate was one of the gates in the Kitai-Gorod wall which was reputed to be the greatest fortification of ancient Moscow. Right in front of the gate there is the Kilometer Zero sign "Nulevogo kilometra" – this is the centre of Moscow and the starting point for measuring all distances in Russia.

Holy Trinity Church in Nikitniki

Reviewed By TatiTripAdv - Moscow, Russia

Unique antic church was built at 1628-1658. Rich decoration shows Russian architecture style.Inside you can find chandeliers donated by Tzar. As many churches it survived in many fires. However not many churches survived over Soviet period. This one was closed as church but was used as museum ground. Interesting place for visiting and for understanding our history.
