Sights Kremlin
The Moscow Kremlin is the main sight of Russia. He keeps a set of secrets and fascinating stories - about Napoleon's escape from the Kremlin, painting of the Kremlin brick from white to red, the murdered tsarevitch Dmitriy, about rich treasures and other improbable things. Hundreds of books are written about it and the Kremlin guides are the main keepers of these stories.
Armory
Its former name was Big treasury and it speaks for itself. Here there are: state regalia including the well-known schapka Monomakha (a sign of the imperial power) and military awards, the weapon decorated with jewels, secular and church vestments, gold-embroidered fabrics, harnesses and a collection of crews of the 15-18th. The building of Armory was constructed in 1851 by the architect Konstantin Ton (the author of buildings of Maly Theatre, the Grand Kremlin Palace, Nikolaevsky railway station in St. Petersburg).
Blagoveschensky Cathedral
Pskov architects constructed Blagoveschensky Cathedral in 1489. The icon painter Andrei Rublyov initially painted it, but frescos were destroyed after a major fire of 1547. In house church of the Moscow sovereigns in Blagoveschensky Cathedral you should pay attention to the floor gathered from jasper and to Feodosiy's frescos ( he was the son and the pupil of icon painter Dionysiy.)
Ivan the Great Bell Tower
At Ivanovskaya Square of the Kremlin Ivan the Great Bell Tower with Uspenska and Filaretovsky belfries rises. Construction of a bell tower was started by Bon Fryazin in memory of Ivan III on the place of church of St Iohan Lestvichnik. Petrok Maly continued the construction and Russian master Fedor Kon has finished it. The bell tower has taken a modern form about 1600 year and before the existence of Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg was the highest building in Russia. Around a bell tower, there were yards and economic constructions of boyars, monarchic soldiers of people and prikazy. They later have become the ministries. As the Kremlin walls lost the defensive value, the everyday life moved out of their limits.
The Tsar Bell
Tourists always pay special attention to the Tsar Bell and the Tsar Puschka. It is still an unknown fact why Anna Ioannovna wanted the bell weighing 200 t. However, the preparatory work that has borrowed one and a half years has led to the fact that on November 25 in 1735 the six-meter bell has been cast. As soon as the product has cooled down, chasers started their work: they decorated during two years. It still was in a hole on an iron lattice when in 1737 there was a fire: the wooden structure above the hole was in fire and according to a legend the bell has fallen to a bottom, the considerable part of it has broken away. Both parts had been laining in a hole about 100 years until engineers and architects got an idea how to pull it out. The bell never called – it is impossible because of its weight and features of a construction.
The Tsar Puschka
From the bronze Tsar Puschka with a trunk of 120 cm diameter nobody ever shot. The master Ivan Chokhov casted the Tsar Puschka in 1586. The tool didn't participate in military operations though it was expected to fire not only stone kernels, but also a case-shot. The cast iron kernels lying near the Tsar Puschka from the middle of the 19th century actually don't fit her.
Uspensky Cathedral
Uspensky Cathedral - the oldest completely saved building of Moscow. Uspensky Cathedral was built by Aristotle Fioravanti in 1479. It was constructed as similar to the Vladimirsky Uspensky Cathedral. At the end of the XVth - the beginning of the 16th centuries the cathedral was painted by the famous icon painter Dionysiy, the part of his paintings is still save. Uspensky Cathedral for many years was the place of crowning of the Russian tsars, even during the reign of Peter the Great when the capital has been transferred to St. Petersburg. Now the cathedral works as the museum, but periodically Patriarchal cathedral church services are made here.
