Program details
The history of the Russian state had began here - at the top of Borovitsky Hill. Over the centuries, a small wooden fortress turned into an impregnable stone citadel with twenty towers, built according to all the rules of fortification. The territory of the modern Kremlin, surrounded by a red brick wall with merlons, is not only a unique complex of amazingly beautiful ancient temples, historically significant buildings and attractions, but also the political center of modern Russia and the official residence of the President. During the tour you will learn: about the centuries-old history of the Moscow Kremlin; about the creations of famous Italian architects; where was the Tsar Bell crafted, and why it had never rang; why a huge cannon weighing 40 tons was nicknamed "Tsar Cannon"; and much more. You will see: the Cathedral Square; the oldest cathedral of the Kremlin- the Assumption Cathedral; the tomb of the great Moscow princes, patriarchs and kings - the Archangel Cathedral; the house church of the great dukes of Moscow and the Russian tsars - the Annunciation Church; the Grand Kremlin Palace; the architectural enesemle of the Bell Tower of Ivan the Great; the Church of the Deposition of the Robe - the home church of Russian metropolitans and patriarchs; the buildings of Senate and Arsenal.
