Kremlin Bauwerke - Der KremlThe tour will take you on a visit to the Kremlin, the former residence of Russian czars, and an architectural ensemble of unique beauty, which took shape between 15th and 20th centuries. Cathedral Square – the center of Kremlin with the 15th century Assumption Cathedral, the main church of Russia, the 15th century Annunciation Cathedral, private church of Russian czars and the 16th century Archangel’s Cathedral, the burial place of the czars. The highest structure in the Kremlin is the 80-meter high Bell Tower of Ivan the Great. You will also be amazed by the sizes of the world’s largest Tzar Bell (18th century) and Tzar Cannon (16th century). There is such a great array of architecture in the complex, which ranges from 18th century classical buildings to gilded onion-domed cathedrals and medieval fortifications. The Kremlin in general was begun in the 1150s but was expanded greatly over the centuries. Ivan the Great initiated a great building program and invited Italian architects to Russia to design various buildings, including the Cathedral of the Assumption. Building and expansion has continued until the 20th century. This is possibly the Senate, which serves as the official Presidential residence, but I'm not sure... IDs are welcome! Security around the building was pretty tight; I remember that there were guards with whistles who used them fairly liberally to warn anyone who stepped across a white line painted on the pavement into the square across from the building, so it's pretty evident that something important was in there!
