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.
