Description
Buildings surrounding the Red Square (Moscow, Russia) - Kremlin towers, Cathedral of St Basil the Blessed, Historical museum.
Red Square is closely associated with the Kremlin, lying beneath its east wail. The square used to be a market square adjoining the merchant’s area in Kitay Gorog (part of Moscow). At the south end is the famous Cathedral of St Basil the Blessed. The Cathedral was ordered by Ivan the Terrible to mark the 1552 capture of Kazan from Mongol forces. It was completed in 1560. Nothing is known about the architects, Barma and Postnik Yakovlev, except their names and the dubious legend that Ivan had them blinded so that they could not create anything to compare.
