The Moscow Kremlin

Here is a picture visit to the Moscow Kremlin.

Of the twenty towers in the walls of the Kremlin only three are not square. Each tower has a name, and it's own history, and date from the late Fifteenth Century.

The tallest structure in the Kremlin is the Ivan the Great Bell Tower. This was built in the early Sixteenth Century.

The Armory is now a museum with artifacts from Russian history. Some of the famous Faberge Eggs are on display here.

The State Kremlin Palace is a modern building, from the early 1960s.

The Palace of Facets was the reception hall, built in the late Fifteenth Century.

The Dormition Cathedral was the Tsars coronation cathedral and is the most important cathedral in Russia.

The Annunciation Cathedral was the royal chapel of the Tsars, from the late Fifteenth Century.

The Cathedral Of The Archangel, from the early Sixteenth Century, was the mausoleum of the Tsars.

The Grand Kremlin Palace was built in the mid-Nineteenth Century as the Moscow residence of the Tsars, when the capital of the country was St. Petersburg. I suppose it could be thought of as the Moscow version of the Winter Palace. Today it is where the President of Russia lives.
